Hazy, breezy end to the week on shore. A few beach doves perched up in full view, the rest of the flock well-camouflaged around me.

Gord made us affogatos last night. I could get used to this. Mine was coffee ice cream, his chocolate.

Found this doing the rounds again. Grackle 🖤

hello....is it these you're looking for?🎵 can't get enough of Coot feet!!😂 #birds

Do you know who’s NOT disappointed by the cool, damp weather? My pansies. Oh, are they happy.

Remember the beautiful view from the little spit in our nearby park? Well, it’s still a lovely view, but it’s no longer the lake you see from this vantage point. Leafout is complete on the maple-elm-willow-honeysuckle lined spit. Fog out beyond completes the cozy feel. Warbling vireos serenade here.

Omg! Look who just started up outside our window! 🤩🥰

Would anyone like to answer a survey? Our class bird feeders bring cardinals, blackbirds, doves & 3 kinds of sparrows. My Ss have been all about birds these days. So bird guides are well-loved. Birds & other creatures that come from eggs… Echidnas, frogs, snakes, turtles, robins. Oh, and surveys.

Our kid is off to prom in a glamorous vintage gown, but the part that got me most excited is when they sent photos of the group of friends all dressed up, and added that one of their dad’s has pawpaw trees in their yard. Omg. Omg! So of course I asked… and I can visit sometime to see them! 😭

I got so many Qs & comments about my fantastic new Friends of Sam Smith Park tee, from kids around the 🏫. It’s got some of our famous local birds: the red-necked grebes & long-tails, and of course the whimbrels whose migration stopover habit inspired the name Whimbrel Point and the festival date.
