Rest Stop

Maybe not the best place for a picnic in mid-December,

but still a nice spot for a bit of rest.

On The Seawalk

On the Seawalk, looking back from the very end, on the last day of November.

Puttin' On The Ritz

Lots of the Ritz! A display at one of our local grocery emporiums.

The Last ...

... of Saturday's snow on Sunday, on the new walkway that borders Complex Way.

Odd Bird Out

The last few winters have seen a small flock of Snow Geese over-winter here, and again this year it seems. The

birds in this photo at the JP Dallos field are all youngsters - bar one - though there were 3 adult Snowies out

of the frame. While the odd bird out in the centre may look familiar, it is not a Canada Goose. It's a Cackling Goose,

smaller in stature than our familiar bird, with a stubbier beak. I see a few here every winter, though with a very

cold winter in the forecast, all these geese may move on yet.

Meandering

Meandering above the pole line, in October.
With all the poor weather lately I've not been out as often as I'd like,
and I'm resorting to photos just slightly out of season.

Dunlin

One of our smaller winter visitors is the Dunlin, arriving here from Alaska and the Arctic.

They are a pleasure to watch when feeding, with the head continually bobbing up and

down in what the books call "sewing machine action".  So a group of Dunlin

feeding at the waters' edge is interesting to see!
