Day 361 - 27th December 2014 -Sunrise, Waves, Snowy Owl and American Pipit

Looks like another sunny day on it's way. Not what you would call typical Christmas weather but great for people who have had family and friends travelling to visit. I think we could find a beach to visit in the other direction today, maybe Hemeon's Head or Johnson's Pond. Been a while since we've traveled to either spot. Haven't seen the Harlequin Ducks this year so that would be a great sighting and better photos would be a bonus. Sometimes it's just best to go without a lot of plans in place. Larry will probably want to put some more wood in so maybe we'll go early and come home early today. Stores are open again today - "Boxing Day Sales", think I'll stay far away!
Boxing day was nice. I took a jaunt around the hood, Larry put some wood in the basement (time to start replacing what we've used) and then we headed off to Cape Sable Island for a little birding. Found a couple of our birding friends and a few American Pipits. The Sanderlings they had found were leaving just as we arrived. Was a fabulous day for waves and spray on the beach. There is never a bad time to visit the beaches in Shelburne County. Saw the Snowy Owl at Daniel's Head and a few domestic Geese and Mallards as well. Gulls of course were abundant.
 Soft sunrise over the lake when Lexi and I were out.
 The ducks were all at Myrna's yesterday morning, by afternoon a few had made their way to Lois'.
 Great waves and spray!

 Not sure if it was bath time or they were feeding.
