We had a visitor to our bird feeder this afternoon – a northern shrike. This is the first time I’ve seen one here. They are a predatory bird, so it wasn’t surprising that we didn’t see our other little birds around that time.

Puffins
I posted some pictures of the puffins we saw when we were in Elliston, Newfoundland last year, but thought I would add some more pictures of them. They are beautiful birds. God has created so many different creatures for us to enjoy.
A pine warbler that did not migrate

Hooded Mergansers
We had three hooded mergansers on our lake today – two males and one female. The males are the brighter colour, and have white crests on their heads. These can be raised or lowered. They have beautiful markings.
Five Swans
We have five swans on our lake right now, migrating to warmer climates. I enjoyed taking some photos, especially ones that showed the water spraying off of them after they came up from feeding.

The Swans are Here
We’ve had a couple of trumpeter swans here on our lake for a couple of days. We often see them in the spring or fall.
