Jan 30/11 


Yesterday, Dad & I had a chance to do a little birding and our day had a nice sort of symmetry to it. The first good bird of the day was a Barred Owl sitting on a fence post watching us intently and our last bird of the day was an Eastern Bluebird, posing nicely on a fence post with its chest puffed high, proudly showing off its beauty, as nearby a male Great Horned Owl called almost endlessly. 


The weather was wonderful, and Yarmouth Harbour was so full with such a variety of waterfowl, that it was a bit like, being on one of those nature specials. 


Birding Highlights from the day are listed below. - Cheers, Clarence
