A collage of snow buntings, mostly in flight while fighting for the feed. Not sure why they squabble of the food as every second house seems to have food out for them.








Having a few spare minutes I knocked off this pencil drawing of the scene outside.................I wish.


So some ill advised people are advocating that a vote for the Conservative candidate in the riding of Labrador is a vote for more services and financial support for the aboriginal communities in Labrador.

If by the off chance the candidate wins and the Conservatives achieve a majority then we will hold our noses and hope for better than this lot got from the Conservative minority government.

You will note INAC had a role to play in that deplorable decision, the same INAC that is in charge of the NNC program to supply affordable, nutritious foods to the north.

curious? have you noticed more snow buntings this year then previous? I asked a lady in happy valley the same question but she said about the same there. I know here there are plenty more this spring then previous years.

I have noted more snow birds this year for sure. It was either last year of year before there was very few came through, so yes they are more plentiful this year.

One thing I have notice also; the dearth of ravens [crows] this winter. Even the resident pairs are a scarcity. A far cry from being inundated with them not many years ago.
