Today was clear but definately took a turn towards winter weather. We even sighted our first flakes of snow this morning. The winds are bitterly cold today also but it did not deter me from going on a hike. Hiking to Northern light there was lots of dark-eyed juncos flying about and several white-throated sparrows in the thickets and alders. Also groups of Blue jays are flying through along with several crows and common grackles. My friend and i hiked around Northern Lighthouse and along the shore past seal cove and on to pea jack. It was a bit wet in places but passable. The sky was a brilliant shade of blue with billowy white clouds and as i looked up low and behold an adult bald eagle was soaring above us. If only i had thought to bring my camera along! On the left i have added a picture i took this summer of seal cove where we sighted the bald eagle. Waves were crashing along the shore sending huge waves into the air and the contrast of the light blue sky with the deep blue sea was spectacular!
