More Booby
Nazca Boobies are particularly photogenic.
The origin of the name “Booby” is discussed Here . They really do show little fear.

The Youngsters
The young eagles in the nest are getting close to becoming independent.

Cormorants
Cormorants arrived on Lake Nosbonsing in the past 10 years or so and prefer to roost on the end of a small island out in the main part of the lake.
Cormorants are not popular birds in Ontario.
The inevitable result of their fish diet kills vegetation and trees where numbers of them congregate.
Something like humans.

Pine Grosbeak
We put up the bird feeder about two weeks ago and have seen the usual chickadees and nuthatches. We have also had a partridge come by occasionally. Yesterday this fellow showed up:
In spring the evening grosbeaks come by. This is the first Pine Grosbeak that I can recall seeing although we are well within its winter range.
It was about -25C and he was fluffed up to about double his size to keep warm.
