Newfoundland http://www.netcore.ca/%7Eprairie/Pauls_Web_pages/Newfoundland.html Here are some images taken during a trip to Newfoundland July 9 to 14, 2007. We birded from from Port aux Basques in the southwest to the Avalon peninsula and St. John’s area in the east. On July 13 we took a boat tour of the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve and visited Gull Island.
