Wonderful sightings for your group. And tell Miriam I would have taken photos of that quilt too.

Qué contraste con las imágenes a pleno sol y las de la bahía congelada, no da la sensación de frío las de tierra adentro pero me imagino el aire debía estar bastante fresco. Aquí también el tiempo lógicamente está cambiando y ya algunas hojas están amarillas, con la llegada de algunas que vienen del sur y la lenta partida de las que migran hacia el norte.Hernán Tolosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08438533050915843307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-17379627637484918142019-03-27T06:17:06.332-04:002019-03-27T06:17:06.332-04:00Thank you David.

Far from being a prisoner, I spent 2 spring periods there, 7 weeks in all, and was privileged to see and handle many wonderful species and to meet many lovely, friendly Canadian people. <br /><br />For anyone reading this comment who is considering a trip to LP, as a volunteer "intern" or just for a day, I can thoroughly recommend the experience. this is especially so in the coming weeks when they will experience bird migration in action, a phenomenon that at LP can be spectacular indeed.

Miriam's shot of the Tundra Swans in their almost perfect 'V' formation is wonderful. Well done to whoever spotted that Eastern Screech Owl - I'd love to see one. Drake Hooded Mergansers have to be one of the strangest-looking ducks - another species I'd like to see one day.

Jag har nyss bevittnat en stor idrottsman som idag avslutade sin fantastiska idrottskarriär med en silverplats på sin hemarena i Quebec, skidåkaren Alex Harvey. Förutom växter och natur är längdskidåkning en av mina stora intressen, har följt skidåkningen ända sedan TV kom in i mitt liv. Världscupen på skidor är stor i Europa med tävlingar under varje helg på olika platser runt om i Europa. En del amerikanska och kanadensiska idrottsmän deltar och i helgen flyttade Världscupen till Quebec i Kanada. Vackra vyer av Saint Lawrence floden med smältande is fick vi njuta av. Men framförallt en magnifik prestation av en fantastisk idrottsman Alex Harvey från Quebec som härmed avslutade sin karriär med ett toppresultat. Jag har följt honom i tio år och kan berätta att han är stor här i Europa, inte enbart för sina idrottsliga resultat utan också för hans stora personlighet.
