Today -

1:45pm, finished at work early.
2:00pm , realized that I might get from the Valley to 1st Lake, Lr.
Sackville and back before supper
2:20pm, picked up 2 birding buddies in Wolfville
3:25pm, Drove up to 1st Lake, and there was the Tundra swan, feeding away,
with an adult LBB Gull for good measure.
4:35pm, dropped off Bernard and Rick well in time for supper
4:45pm, dropped into bookstore in Wolfville and bought a Gaspereau Press
high quality version of The Sentimentalists.
5pm, home to check my e-mail.

A very satisfying way of spending an afternoon.

Interestingly, the swan was about 50m offshore, and none of us were able to
see any yellow on the bill with 30x scope eyepieces. But blowing up the
digiscoped images in the camera LCD, there is indeed a small yellow spot.
