Birdwatching



After I dropped Ron off at the mill, I took my coffee and sat beside the lakeshore doing my Sudoku puzzle in the sunshine at 7:30 a.m. That didn’t last long as I got fascinated with the birds on shore and water. I got out my binoculars, camera and Audubon bird guide and saw about 20 different ones, some I’d not seen before. The Yellow Headed Blackbird and the Canvasback duck were very colorful. A Killdeer walked right by in front of me and was delightful. It was so peaceful and the bird songs were marvelous. Diane and Vicki eventually joined me.

As I walked back to the coach, I talked to our neighbours who were here fishing for 2 days. What a small world. I graduated from St. Paul’s Nursing School with her, Lynn Scoullar in 1962 and had not seen her since.

It started raining at 2 so I was glad I’d had this beautiful morning outside.
