Yellow Rumped Warbler

Mon, 14 May 2007 11:11:00 -0500

I was Hiking through the woods near my house and I wanted to bring a camera with me. So i eventually met up with a couple yellow rumped warblers, unfortunatly i didn't get very many close up shots of them. I think this is the best photo I have.

Moose On The Loose!

Wed, 2 May 2007 09:03:00 -0500

April 30, 2007, a day to remember. It was around 5:30 P.M. And I was busy watching television. I saw something walking down our street that looked very odd, so I opened up the blinds and saw that there were 3 big moose walking down our lane! I screamed to everybody in the house to look outside and see them. Unforntunatly I wasn't able to get a photo of them walking down our lane, but we did chase ater them and get a few pics of them roaming through the town. enjoy! >.<

We saw it again!

The Willow Ptarmigan was in our backyard by our neighbor's house. I was able to get pretty close to it this time -- actually was about 3 ft away from it! It wandered around for a bit and finally walked behind an old shed in someone's backyard.

Well, what a surprise we had this morning! I was sitting in the living room, looking out the window and waiting for the kids to come start their history reading. Something moving outside the window caught my eye. I got up to take a closer look and saw 2 ptarmigan walking by on the side of the road outside our home. Of course, I called for the kids to come see. We had never seen a live one before :-) I slowly opened the front door to try and get a picture of them. They were moving pretty quickly and I didn't want them flying off before I could get a picture. They were making low gobbling noises, kindof like turkeys and chickens would make. I managed to get one fairly good shot -- not real closeup, but it will do. This is the time you need a nice zoom lens!

Gliding

I went gliding with the Air Cadets on saturday, it was really fun, seeing the bottom of a big lake and little cars. We were in Stephenville an old U.S Air Base.

The Junco's

There were at least 6 Northeren Junco's on our front yard feeder this morning. I hope they stay around for awhile because they are one of my favourite birds around here.

tree swallow

Wed, 31 May 2006 10:08:00 -0500

May 31 we saw four three swallows. They were looking in our bird house. We were hoping the birds would nest. Then a starling came and scared the tree swallows away. Now were hoping they will at least come back.
