Feathers (and Fur) in Churchill

We are currently at the hotel, we are leaving very soon to go driving around. I decided to make a quick post. I have seen 11 new birds so far. We also saw a couple polar bears, I got a decent picture of the bear.

  1. Excellent! That's a wonderful list of lifers, and the Polar Bears must have been very special.

    Enjoy the remainder of your trip.

    1. We were near the nest, I got some pictures of the eggs too. It was hovering around (and bombing us). It was hovering around a bit, so we were able to get some pictures! :D We got some more pictures of it, as well as some baby terns, sure to come in the blog post. :)
