Day 89 - 30th March 2014 - Loon, Ducks, Bridge and Reflections

Another day with the big red weather alert bar up - "Rainfall warning" - well at least it's mild, +0.8 and we don't have to shovel this. Wind is nothing like last Wednesday either. Sounds like mostly an inside day. I've got to order seeds - which I should have done weeks ago, go through some of my photos in search of some nice plant and wild flower photos and maybe clean some more off my laptop. Larry decided last night he wanted corn chowder for supper tonight so he's in change of that and I'll convince him later we need biscuits to go with it - he's the biscuit maker in the family not me. Breakfast at the Fire Hall this morning - not our turn to work, might just enjoy being waited on. Yup - sounds like a full Sunday. For now I'll leave Larry and Lexi in bed to catch some zzz's and I'll have some quiet time.
We had a great Saturday - turned out fine, fog eventually lifted and we went on a birding tour. Left home at 7:30 am, met the group at Clyde River at 8:30. It was mostly a day for binoculars and scopes (and boy some people had big ones!) Nice to go with a group as we found a few new spots to bird even though we've travelled this area before and help with identifying some gulls. Lots of ducks,gulls, geese, loons, and a few other birds around and over the water.  Went way down to the end of Blanche, by that time it was also time for lunch. We left the group just around 3 when we were almost done for the day - last stop was to Baccaro Light and headed off, still had groceries to get and had been a long day for Lexi at home. Got home around 4:30 and neither of us were too energetic the rest of the evening. Fresh air and good company wears you out.  And I must mention - Lou-Anne - a day to pee in bushes - thank goodness it was warm.
 Looking over at the Port Clyde bridge.
 A Bald Eagle spooked a flock of Canada Geese.
 They just circled around and landed again.
 A perfectly calm day for reflections.
 Some wildlife as well as gulls.
 Just some old wire and chain.
 Mergansers are always leaving me.
 There were quite a number of Greater Scaup.
Loons are beginning to change color.
 Bright and colorful - buoys bobbed along.
 Love looking into water.
A pair of Cormorants at Baccaro Light. Didn't notice the Snowy Owl, but we didn't roam around for fear of scaring them for the others.







Enjoy your day!
