I was hunting a few Kingfishers. On my list and I don't have a good shot of those very skittish birds yet. I was close. I had to settle for this.

Looks remarkably like Sorbus aucuparia. If it is then it must've been an introduction (S. aucuparia is eurasian in distribution).

Kererū - New Zealand pigeon - Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae.

This pair have been with us for a few years, and their favourite evening spot is eating the young foliage on an old almond tree on our clifftop. In summer, when the wild plums in our valley are covered in fruit, they will gorge themselves almost to the point of being unable to fly.

About 2 hours north of our city is Hecla Island. People from Iceland settled there. Actually on the way up there is town called Gimli where Icelanders also settled. Both on Lake Winnipeg. Parts of the old ferry dock still stand. I faintly remember going over on the ferry in a car with my parents. I was probably about 5-7 years old. In 1973 they built a causeway to connect to the island.

Post #93 is just to the right of the dock.
