Thursday's Day out...................

Today was a bright sunny day. We started out later than usual but headed in the usual direction. It was still very cold and windy so knew we wouldn't be walking. I was going to head north through Leland but it was too cold for beaches. Sort of ironic as it didn't bother me when it was snow, it's the wind. Anyway the first encounter was with some "Coo's" .......how adorable are they?

We will certainly try to keep these guys on our rosta. We stopped at the Samaritans Closet to look for goodies. Gerry never goes in. I will show my finds on English Spirits Pretty Things later. The driving to the usual places there wasn't much to see in the way of wildlife. Missed a couple of Hawks and a yellow bird. We stopped at Narada Lake to see what was happening but its mostly still ice. I wonder where the musk rats slumber.

I look forwards to the return of the birds and beasts. Onwards to Port Oneida. Guess who's back............We saw some Canadians and one pair of Sand Hill Cranes.

Maybe next time we go there will be three pairs as there usually is. It looks like the Canadians have found a nice spot on the "new" pond just by the main road. Very soon they will all be nesting and then we watch the babies grow. There were no deer out in Empire today or anywhere else that we saw. On the way home we stopped for a burrito at the Hayloft. No one there at that time. We had to leave our name and phone number, Covid rules, and we wore our masks until the food came. Its supposed to be a nice weekend so we may take Tristen north to Northport for a change of pace.
