I was very excited to spot a Bobcat cruising the ice on the Wolastoq/Saint John River near Lakeville Corner, #newbrunswick
#wildlife #nature #bobcat #lynx #kitty
A bobcat walks over the ice head lowered like it might be moving in on prey but I think it was just helping him maintain balance on the slippery surface The sunlight reflects off the right side of a bobcat which in turn reflects off the ice surface. The cat's head is turned into the sun perhaps enjoying a little warmth on a very cold winter's day.

Back and face turned into the low hanging winter sun, this Bobcat seems to be taking a moment to enjoy the warm sun.

A bird who should be in a warm climate found winter. This Painted Bunting, very rare for #NewBrunswick, #Canada is surviving at a home feeder in Bayside, NB. Thanks to the homeowners for taking care of this beauty and putting up with birders coming for a peek.

A very colourful bird perched on a green bird feeder. Blue head with orange eye ring, yellowish lime green on back and a red fading into orange below, this bird looks like "Mother Nature" ran out of colours on this one.

Excited to see a Painted Bunting, so rare and so far from home. Thank you to the home owners who are both helping this bird out and putting up with the bird paparazzi.

Common Eider are seabirds so I was surprised to see this one in a large field on the Tantramar Marsh. Seemed grounded by very strong wind. It flew a short distance but was making better progress waddling along. Sackville, #NewBrunswick, #Canada

A Common Eider sitting in a grassy field. From a distance these guys appear to be black and white but a closer look reveals the white has subtle shades of both a pinkish-brown and on the cheeks/throat a gorgeous dark green.

Sometimes the Canada Jays are waiting for us to take out some scraps. These two didn't wait for me to put them on the ground. Love the chatter.

Blue Jay with a question????
Charters Settlement, #NewBrunswick, #Canada
#birds #wildlife #nature #jay #birdphotography
A Blue Jay looks forward while it cocks its head to the side. I like his crest from this angle....looks like a "conehead". It seems like he has a full beard on his chin (covers its throat pouch), his Christmas Santa look.

Watch your step!
Great Blue Heron on ice. Guess he isn't getting the message about winter. I know I'd fly south if I could....

Male and Female Evening Grosbeaks and a dash of snow.

Female Evening Grosbeak perched on a branch with a few flakes of snow. The female lacks the brilliant yellow of the male but has very distinctive marks especially on the wings and tail which are black accented with white.

Surprised to see a Red-winged Blackbird at the feeder yesterday. Must be on its way south. Not 100% sure if this is a bold marked female or a male with no hint of shoulder patches (faded when non-beeding)
Charters Settlement, #NewBrunswick #Canada
#birds #nature #wildlife #blackbird
While normally people look for the brilliant red shoulder patch on a RW Blackbird, both the female and non-breeding plumage on the male is quite different. Nevertheless the patterns on this bird is quite striking, bold in its own way.
