This Evening Grosbeak appears to be growing quills. Google tells me these are actually pin feathers which will grow into feathers. Charters Settlement, #NewBrunswick #birds #grosbeak

Always amazed by the variations in Dark-eyed Juncos. We see mostly very dark slate-coloured but this one is more multi toned grey-brown mix. Cape Jourimain, #NewBrunswick, #Canada #birds #wildlife #nature #birdphotography #junco

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. #birds #wildlife #bunting #nature

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 #birds #birdphotography #wildlife #nature #eider

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. Charters Settlement, #NewBrunswick, #Canada #birds #jay #wildlife #nature #birdphotography

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
