Hello:

 

I'm still sorting through photographs of this Dovekie, but here are three:

Or browse the last few photos of this gallery:

This was certainly a very lucky occurrence. With the recent Dovekie related
posts we were hopeful we would see one this winter.  When we originally
spotted it at a fair distance we were very happy with getting a few
'documenting' photos. Then this little bird swam straight towards us and
posed obligingly and patiently for a number of portraits -- what a thrill!

Kwe Msit Wen:

 

I apologize for the unclear posting.  I was trying a new feature in iBird
which allows me to note where a particular bird was sighted but it only used
Longitude and Latitude.  However, we seen it at Dyke Road, on the Eastern
Shore, near Grand Desert, off route 207 (past Seaforth).

 

As for Paul's and Harriet's last name, that I do not know but I know they
live in Lawrencetown and Paul said that he was going to post in NatureNS
tonight so Paul make sure you also post your last name.  I am sure that Paul
has excellent pictures as it was full frame with stunning light.  The bird
was swimming towards us.  I was so envious and kept telling myself never to
leave home without my camera.

 

I took some pictures with my iPhone but Nick and I will go out again
tomorrow to see if we can get pictures with our cameras.

 

We also saw a great blue heron at Conrad Beach (left hand side marsh going
towards the beach), plus a couple Glaucous Gulls at Hartlen Point (they were
the same size as the Herring Gulls).

 

Dovekies are the cutest little birds, you just want to pick them up and
cuddle them.  A new lifer for us and hopefully tomorrow, it still will be
there so it will be a "Photo Lifer" for us.
