We woke up at 7:00 a.m., were dressed by 8:00 when Chantelle brought us our breakfast. The breakfast try consisted of Coffee, Juice, Yogurt, a bowl of fresh fruit, 2 homemade muffins, 2 croissants and 2 hard boiled eggs in little eggwarmers.
We ate breakfast and watched the fog lift slowly. It was 43 degrees this morning. Thank goodness for heat in the cabin.
We hung around reading and I wrote up yesterday’s blog after finding that we had wi-fi at the cabin. After I posted it, we went put on flannel shirts and fleece jackets to go outside. I decided to sit in an adirondack chair and watch the world go by, Kirsten decided to try out a kayak.
After she moseyed on up the narrows, I explored our yard and walked down the driveway to the wood pile and back again, then decided that perhaps the adirondack chair and my book were calling to me.
Found this bird nest in between two cedar tree trunks about 2.5 feet off the ground.
When Kirsten got back we made a lunch of hummus, cucumber, fresh tomato, radishes, baby spinach in a wrap. Delicious!
Sat outside but found that I am sunburning, so came inside to read some more.
About 5:00 we decided to drive into Algonquin and down the Opeongo Road. We found a great blue heron that was fishing.
About 200 feet down the road we realized we were looking at a Spruce Grouse female. However she is a dark brown with black and sitting in the shade so we didn’t get a shot of her. Maybe another day.
We drove down to the Opeongo Store and turned around after chatting with a couple from England. They are here to see a moose.
We meandered back up through to the new one lane bridge and as we got to the other side, I saw a gray jay fly by.
We talked to the England people again and told them about the gray jays, they even had one land on the roof of their car because the jays wanted to eat my walnuts instead of sunflower seeds.
We came home and have determined we’ll head back into the park right after breakfast tomorrow.
Who has tamed the jays, Linda? Or are they always that friendly?
ReplyDeleteGray Jays are just generally more friendly than our blue jays or the stellar jays you guys have out west. We've been able to feed them in Ontario as well as Upper Maine. I wish we had them here in Southern Vermont, but they don't come down this far.
