Coastal birding in the rain 🌧 today at St. George's NL, while watching this elegant Horned Grebe manage a snack. This one was in the company of Barrow's Goldeneye and Black-headed Gull 👀. The Horned Grebe is a very uncommon fall visitor to our area and watching this one catch a fish was an amazing experience❣ 📽 Birding by Season, St. George's NL #birdingbyseason #explorenl #ExploreTNL Go Western Newfoundland Experience Qalipu

Dovekie at Stephenville (NL) October 20, 2021

Known as a "Bullbird" in Newfoundland, the Dovekie is best seen from shore during the winter season 🔭. Our experience with the one in the video happened at Stephenville on October 20th, which is a little early. With fall migration winding down 🍂, the Dovekie is a reminder of the changing seasons and the return of our winter birds 🥰. 📽 Birding by Season #birdingbyseason #explorenl #ExploreTNL Experience Qalipu Go Western Newfoundland Newfoundland & Labrador Tourism

Wilson's Phalarope on the Port au Port Peninsula
Wilson's Phalarope on the Port au Port Peninsula

Meet the Wilson’s Phalarope – a rare visitor to Southwestern Newfoundland with an unusual foraging technique. When foraging in water, they “swim and spin” and this circular movement creates a whirlpool effect that draws food items to the surface. This one was foraging on land and as we can see in the video, their quick and frenzied movements are just as quirky! For a better look at this rare shorebird, we’ve posted a photo too. Check out our 2-day tour of the Port au Port Peninsula at 👉 birdingbyseason.com/tour/french-ancestors/ #birdingbyseason #birdsNL #birdingNL #exploreNL Go Western Newfoundland Newfoundland & Labrador Tourism

We caught up with this gorgeous Scarlet Tanager 🔥 at the birder- and bird-friendly Marble Inn Resort on May 11th. Here we have the male skillfully shedding the seed coat as he forages on black sunflower seed, likely refueling before travelling toward his breeding grounds when weather conditions are more suitable for him. Scarlet Tanagers are rare but regular visitors to western Newfoundland and most often appear when strong winds carry them our way 💨, delighting local birders when they appear 😍 🎥 Birding by Season #birdingbyseason #explorenl #birdsnl Go Western Newfoundland Newfoundland & Labrador Tourism
