Late tonight, I have just added 12 extra photos that were taken on the two walks (botany and birding) that I went on two days ago, 19 June 2018. Nothing very special; just wanted these quick shots to be added to my various albums. This means that I have finished with the photos from that day. Now I need to get on with my Waterton weekend images. This weekend I have a day trip, so I know for sure that I will be taking photos. I'm hoping that one of these days, I will be able to get back to my Pt Pelee/Tadoussac photos, starting on Day 2.
Two days ago, on 19 June 2018, there were two walks I wanted to go on - an afternoon botany walk at Griffith Woods, especially as I have missed most of the walks this session; and a birding walk in the evening at Lafarge Meadows in Fish Creek Park. Usually, I don't do two walks on the same day, as it is just too much walking for me.
I photographed this male American Wigeon at the Fish Creek Park location. We were also lucky enough to see two Black-crowned night-herons there, though they were far, far away. A Great Blue Heron stood at the river's edge, fishing, and the occasional American White Pelican flew high up. The group of 8 of us saw 39 bird species in total. . The group of 8 of us saw 39 bird species in total. Many thanks to Flickr member, Festive Coquette, for the correct ID.
After the evening walk, a few of us went to Tim Horton's for coffee and chat. Coffee doesn't usually keep me awake, but I guess I'm not normally drinking it at 10:00 pm! Despite feeling tired out from two walks, I was also 'wired' and it was 6:00 am before I finally fell into bed the next morning. An hour later, I was awake, so the next day was definitely a slow day at home.

This old MacDonald Johnston Volvo rear loader was one of the three trucks used to collect the garbage in Botany Bay. You will see the truck was equipped with twin lifters, something which has been the lifter system in that region for many years.
