We enjoyed beautiful sunny weather at Squirrel, with temperatures as high as 80^o F!  We had our first Hummer of the season at our feeder.  He seemed to really like our sugar water recipe, and tanked up from first light to nightfall.

 

 

This pair of Canadian Honkers were feeding on grass growing among the moss-covered rocks. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They were very suspicious of me and, I’m sure, wished I would bugger off.  But, they were enjoying the grass so much, that they chose to tolerate my, just barely.  I think they felt fairly safe, since they had the high ground, but they kept their eye on me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When they realized I wasn’t moving along, they got vocal about their displeasure with my presence.  I’m sure they had a few choice honks for me.

 

 

The female really gave me an ear full.

 

 

Spring has sprung in Squirrel Cove.  I spotted these beautiful wildflowers growing along the shore.

 

Squirrel Cove is full of oysters growing on top of oysters.  Unfortunately, you can’t eat them because of paralytic shellfish poisoning.

 

 

I spotted this crow hopping along the shore, searching for low tide goodies.
