20110630 - 1 Newfounland Wildlife Shots.jpg

Newfoundland

My final posting to complete this Gallery on Newfoundland Wildlife. We were in Newfoundland for two weeks, however, the wildlife photographs were almost exclusively taken in the eastern part of the island during the first week of our stay.

The above image shows examples of the different birds and animals photographed:

1:Northern Gannet 2:Black-legged Kittiwake 3:Common Murres 4:Atlantic Puffins 5:Caribou* 6:Moose*
7:Razorbill 8:Snowy Owl* 9:Herring Gulls 10:Bald Eagle 11:Guillemot 12:Kittiwakes & Murres
13:Great Black-backed Gull 14:Humpback Whale 15:Newfoundland Marten* 16:Red Fox*
*=animals and birds in captivity.

During our final few days whilst staying at Steady Brook, in the western part of the island, we experienced several other acts of Newfoundland kindness and hospitality:

Firstly, as my wife was taking a photograph of me standing in front of the welcome sign for Steady Brook, a car stops, a lady gets out and offers to take a picture of the two of us in front of the sign.

Secondly, whilst we were in Corner Brook, we wanted to take our rental car through a car wash. When my wife rolled down her window to ask directions from the driver of the truck parked beside us at a traffic light the driver said, "just let me pull in front of you and follow me". He then led us to a car wash about 10 minutes away. After we got there he stopped to talk to us for about 20 minutes asking where we were from and offering tips on sights to see in the area.

A PLEASANT END TO A WONDERFUL TRIP
