Unacceptable Rypstra
02 22 2016 Ee Bufflehead Day
Another one from the archives, as I haven't had a lot of time to get out lately. This one is to commemorate Bufflehead Day.
As a migratory duck, this is one amazing duck, for barring any large storms, it will arrive to winter on our shores on the same day every year. On the 298th day of the year, or October 15th, the first duck will arrive at Shoal Harbour (Tsehum Harbour), Sidney, BC. (Give or take three days). To celebrate the arrival of all the winter water fowl, Sidney started to have a Bufflehead Day, which has now extended to three days of related events around Oct. 15th.
Due to two large storms back to back this year, the Buffleheads were really late, arriving on the 21st. This late arrival of an otherwise punctual duck, has only happened twice in two decades...but then they like to ride in on the tail end of a storm... Such smart little ones!
