Day 362 - 28th December 2014 - Bald Eagle, Song Sparrow, Waves and Eiders

Looks like it's going to be a mostly inside day. Rain on the way - seems it will be over with before the day's out, so that's not bad. A good time to put gifts away from the tree and maybe make some pretzels and pizza. Got a new shorebird book for Christmas, will start studying that up a bit too. I think Larry is about ready to start one of his new jigsaw puzzles - I found one with a Green Heron - looks like the one we saw this fall.
Another fine weather day - good for another trip to the beach! We headed in the opposite direction yesterday. Went down through West Sable River, Johnson's Pond, Jones' Harbour. Back and down to  Louis Head,  Little Harbour, Hemeon's Head then towards Shelburne again. So it was a good jaunt. The tide was high and Larry's limping more than usual these days so I didn't walk down to Matthews Lake. I figured the headland would be pretty wet as well with some very good water holes along the way.  Larry had gotten a few loads of wood in the basement before we left, so he piled those up, while Lexi and I went for a run. All in all a great adventure day.
Eagle soaring high - found him in West Sable River.
Song Sparrow hanging out around the wharf at Jone's Harbour.
I startled this Great Blue Heron by the wharf and he headed off to a tree.
Waves were fabulous at Johnson's Pond. Another one of those great secrets in Shelburne County.

This one reminded me more of a waterfall than a wave.
Should have been a day for surfers.

I think this is the back side of the wave.

There are still some Rosehips around.







Eiders at Pleasant Point.






Enjoy your day!
