Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
I think this is probably the sweetest Budding Saturday picture Bud Vincent has ever sent me! He says it’s a baby spotted sandpiper, a bird that frequents the shoreline constantly. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a baby one before – I think I’d remember a face that cute!
I’ve gotten into bird feeding – we now have the fattest birds in heaven (our house is called Heaven’s Gate). Our juncos are now puffed little creatures like the Peeps my daughters can’t get enough of at Easter.
Now that Spring is coming, we’re excited for the new birds we’ll be seeing. The namesakes for our Heart’s Delight Cottages – the Gannet, the Loon, the Osprey and the Puffin – will soon be welcome guests. This part of the province is a bird watcher’s paradise, with the bounty in the sea and shore making for easy meals. And easy viewing from the decks of our cottages.
