Keep your eyes open in your journey...

Well, it's the second week of June and I am on vacation for two weeks. We went to Port Credit the other day to Snug Harbor for lunch and a walk along the boardwalk. A lot of Ducks, Swans, Swallows, Grackles, Red Wing Blackbirds, Cormorants, Terns and Gulls could be seen.

My biggest surprise was when we passed these flowering bushes and I happened to notice some fuzzy creatures sitting atop of them... we believe them to be baby Red Wing Blackbirds. The two of them sat very quietly, looking up to the sky, and probably waiting for the parents to return with lunch. We had a slight encounter with a very angry male RWBB in the same area; just happy he didn't get physical with us.

Once again it pays to be a little more attentive in our journeys as you never know what you just might see...

Check it out!
