This photo was taken near Tracadie/Sheila New Brunswick.

The photo is a bit grainy as it was near sunset on an overcast evening but it was our last day of vacation so I had to make do.

I was out checking a local pond for shorebirds yesterday evening when an adult male Peregrine Falcon decided to check out the pond as well.

This Semipalmated Sandpiper froze in place for over five minutes after the falcon left, gazing skyward.

"The bully"

I went out yesterday to try for some shorebird photos in a small pond near my home.

This Eastern Kingbird continually harassed the shorebirds so I was not able to get many photos of them.

Thankfully I did get this image of the Kingbird.

One of two species added to my NB list this vacation. Not the greatest photo but clearly shows the diagnostic dark underwings.

Another Juniper NB cooperative warbler. Even so it was difficult to get a clean shot as this male Canada Warbler foraged for food for its young.
