Ernie’s Cove is what we named this lovely unnamed cove, when we were here for the first time with our friend Ernie Harding.  Ernie passed away last year, so we thought we would return to Ernie’s Cove this year.  What a beautiful spot.  And, there were lots of photo ops.

 

I thought this seagull perched on a beachball of a rock was amusing.

 

I found these harlequins hanging out with seagulls. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While I was trying to get closer to the harlequins, these hooded mergansers cruised by.

 

 

 

This heron was looking for lunch.

 

 

 

But then he spotted me.

 

 

And he was outta there.

A pair of dolphins swam into the cove one morning.  I wonder if they’re the same pair that was in Booker Lagoon?  Unfortunately, they were very camera shy and didn’t hang around long.
