Saturday - a morning to sleep in at our house - no I've got everyone up early, hopefully we are off to a birding tour with a group from the Nova Scotia Bird Society this morning. Just checked - rain seems to have stopped, temperature is +7.1, won't need a fire in the furnace today. Am looking forward to this, maybe there will be some interesting birds that have flown in from the storm on Wednesday. We'll also do the same old Saturday stuff - grocery shopping on our way home.
Friday was pretty nice - sun eventually came out for awhile, but the wind picked up again. You know what they say - March winds bring forth April showers. Umm...think the showers are going to be happening before the 1st of April but that's how it goes some years. Lexi and I did our normal - roam the hood, did some work - nothing terribly exciting. I did have tea with Lois in the morning and we had a good chew about world problems, solving them all in about 20 minutes. It was a funny afternoon had two phone calls from friends that we haven't seen or heard from for a while. Good to catch up with them as well.
The sun moves so slowly.
A thin layer of ice over the lake again yesterday, still some thicker stuff close in the coves.
What a difference a day makes I can see centers poking out.
Always a few Blue Jays around to add color.
One of the Grackles stopped in - haven't seen them for a while.
The Goldfinches are beginning to get brighter.
But they scatter when the White-breasted Nuthatch flies in.
When Larry came home he said grab your camera quick there are some ducks in the river. So off we went. A pair of Golden-eyes were my prize.
Wish you could get closer - this is where I have lens envy and wish for a bigger one. Maybe some day.
Enjoy your day!
