Snowy Owl with the lights of Montreal's runway 24L-06R in the background. The avifauna control needed to use flares to scare the bird away from the runway several times. Additional pics in the forum under sightings.

If my id is correct, there are Glaucous, Iceland, Herring and Ring-billed Gulls in this photo. Anyone care to confirm? Seen at Saint-Anne des Monts, Quebec.

Although the Saint Lawrence river was calm in the morning, as a snow storm began during the day the water quickly got choppy. It didn't bother this Iceland Gull seen near Saint Anne des Monts.

adult, winter plummage, multiple species
Not a great shot, but was finally able to photograph the Glaucous Gull. What I believe to be several species, including adult winter plumage (centre), immature first winter Glaucous (4th bird from the left), Great black-backed Gull (5th from left), Herring Gull (2nd from left) and other unidentified birds, possibly young Herring Gulls.

Scaly-sided Merganser (1)
Mergus squamatus

male, adult
Although a poor photo, this moment was the highlight of the first ever birdwatching tour of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The enormous crest of Scaly-sided Merganser stands out as 2 males and 1 female feed along the Chongchon River, about 120km north of Pyongyang. This species is now endangered and will need all the help it can get to avoid slipping into extinction.
