The inscrutable species frustrated me and I found myself especially stumped by the difficulty I had distinguishing them, and wildly mystified by the excitement they inspired in my fellow-birders. We later signed up for a whale and birdwatching tour with Captain Wayne , who had a smallish 12-person boat. Happy puffins.

Africa has more than its fair share of storks, with 8 of the world’s 19 species gracing the continent.

Birds like American Coots and Long-eared Owls in Arviat, to Bald Eagles in Whale Cove. This is the 3rd year for these most northerly known breeding pair of loons.
