I was watching a Green Heron when I thought an horrendously backlit Great Blue Heron flew by. Out of instinct I shot a quick sequence then went back to the Green Heron. While sorting shots, I was surprised to discover it was a Great Egret. Fredericton, #NewBrunswick #birds

A Willet is a shorebird so I was quite surprise to see it land in a tree. Apparently it is something they do during nesting season to watch what is happening on the ground. Video taken on a very wet, breezy and foggy day in Cow Bay, Nova Scotia. #birds #nature #wildlife #birdphotography
