Just as the swallows return to Capistrano

So do the Tundra Swans and waterfowl return to Rondeau.

Hundreds of tundra swans have been sitting on Rondeau Bay, near the shore and the weather has been sunny and seasonally warm.

The Wings of Spring festival is being held at Rondeau Provincial Park this weekend, March 20 and 21.
Viewing stations with spotting scopes will be set up along the bay, in the Park.

On Saturday a raptor show will be held at 1.00 pm. Also there is a craft show and bird house building for children, plus other activities.

If you come, look me up, I’ll be manning one of the scopes both days.

Take exit 101 off the 401 and follow the signs to the park

"The folds of rock are related to the churning tectonic activity that gave rise to the earth's mantle hundreds of millions of year ago." For scale I am about 6 feet tall.

My Cat is Stranger Than Your Cat

Okay this is weird; I’ll give you that right up front. We got Maggie from an animal shelter so we don’t know her background. We have found out that, if you don’t latch the bathroom door securely, Maggie will come crashing in to visit. She promptly climbs into your pants and makes herself comfortable. Now I don’t normally take a camera into the bathroom, however, this is regular thing with Maggie so, now you know the story. Sam, the black cat wants to know what Maggie is doing. Sam seemed quite upset over the blow to feline superiority.
