Finally got my Nova Scotia Long-eared Owl. The hardest of the resident species to see, this bird at Pubnico in Yarmouth County was the first twitchable one, ever. Species 394 and such a fabulous show-off We kept our distance, it often didn't. #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching #NovaScotia

A periodic reminder that I write. In an attempt to be even more available to readers, I put the first three Nottingham Detective, Nova Scotia Birder Mystery and the two Harvester World books out as omnibus editions. eBook only, available from Amazon. #Books #Booksky #NovaScotia #eBooks
Mine too. Before that we had a Sri Lankan guy and he was excellent and, in the case of my wife, life saving.
So many people think these are Ospreys this winter. Imm Baldie causing havoc amongst my gulls. Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia. #Birds #birding #Birdwatching
The only Glauc amongst around 200+ Kumlien's, 2 Lesser-Black-backed, 20 Ring-billed, a couple of hundred Greater Black-backed and thousands of American Herring Gull, oh, and the Slaty-backed. A nice morning of gulling in Southern Nova Scotia. #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching #Gulls
Back for seconds with the local Slaty-backed Gull. Lower West Pubnico, Yarmouth County Nova Scotia Feb-19th. #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching #Gulls
A new blog post. Don't be fooled by the Bohemian Waxwing, it's stuffed full of gulls. #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching #Gulls capesablebirding.wordpress.com/2026/02/18/a...
A nice bit of winter gulling excitement today when Alix and Kathleen found the fourth Slaty-backed Gull for Nova Scotia at Dennis Point, Pubnico in Yarmouth County. It rested for about 75 mins before leaving, not seen since. #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching #Gulls
Funny gull season here in southern Nova Scotia. This lump was bigger than all our east coast AMHG and I can't get away from Glaucous-winged, which we don't get. A hybrid is possible but I don't know what x what! #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching #Gulls
I guess they'll be handing over all their research to the universities then!
In Canada we have all sorts of lists, life-winter, combined provinces, what we saw last Tuesday. One of our long established birders does an annual compilation resulting in a free pdf. The 2024 report is out now. www.neilyworld.com/neilyworld/l... #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching
I'm hearing that they've been pretty regular from Halifax north. We should get a few when the next nor'easter blows through.
Thick-billed Murre seems to be at every site I visit (with ocean) at the moment. The norm is one or two per winter, oddly no Dovekie Yet. Cape Sable Island (no horses, that's the other one) Nova Scotia. #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching #seabirds
A contribution to #superbowl An indifferent Snowy from Nova Scotia.
Our default waxwing in southern Nova Scotia is Cedar, they breed in the yard, so it's always nice when a real one heads our way, in this case 40. Bohemian Waxwings, Barrington Passage NS Feb-08, 2026. #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching
youtu.be/ZYk-elv4b2M Sandra's started putting up the birding in Nova Scotia 2025 videos to our YouTube channel. #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching #NovaScotia
Merlin says it's a Great-tailed. I manually set the location to Costa Rica.
Time for a blog post from Nova Scotia. capesablebirding.wordpress.com/2026/02/02/t...
Hunting is done again for another year, so these beauties get to make more Long-tailed Ducks for next season. Hard to know why someone who saw such perfection up close would then shoot it? #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching
Red-tailed Hawk scavenging Canada Geese corpses, Yarmouth Harbour 1st Feb 2026. Dotted around on their own meals were three Northern Harriers a Bald Eagle and a Turkey Vulture. Gees the victims of bird flu or pricked by shot, who knows? #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching
Bruiser time, the Glaucs are finally arriving. This meaty 1CY was at my regular fish plant on Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia today. #Birds #Birdwatching #Birding
Both formats of my new novel, Mirovina, are now available from Amazon. It's actually book three in the series, as I first introduced the leads in another novel, The Chaser, one of my Nova Scotia Birder Mysteries. #Booksky #Books #NovaScotia
I just published my latest novel, Mirovina. Details in the panel. #Books #Booksky #NovaScotia #Authors
My first three Nottingham mysteries in one eBook. The first in the series, Coldhearted, was inspired by being fired by an American company. I put the smiling manager in a -40 freezer (in the book), it didn't go well for her. Cathartic. At Amazon. #Books #Booksky #Nottingham #Authors
First time the Turkey Vultures have fed at the fish plant in the ten years I've been visiting, almost daily in winter. Currently the snowiest winter her since we moved here. Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia. #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching
If a player gets arrested and deported while playing in the US during the hopefully relocated world cup, can the coach replace him or will they be considered collateral damage? I checked the FIFA handbook and see nothing to cover it.
They sound perfect for Canadian winters, but we don't buy anything from the US these days, for obvious reasons.
That getting published was just luck was my thoughts too, but Amazon KDP changed all that. The way I see it is that Amazon are employing people irrespective, people that need jobs. Me not using them to publish won't change anything anywhere but it does get me my books published.
