Spent some time in Glace Bay yesterday, along the far eastern shore of Cape Breton Island.. Got the oil changed in the truck for a mere 82 loonies. Spent the rest of the day on the shoreline between Glace Bay and Louisbourg. Nyxy and I had one beach all to ourselves for most of the afternoon and it was quite relaxing. Collected about 30-40 sand dollars. Saw two gorgeous Northern Shrikes....wasn't fast enough with the camera and missed them. I will try again today as I desperately want a photo of this bird.
Some photos from the day. Enjoy!

No idea what it is,but it washed up in the tide and squirmed all over the place. I put him back in the ocean.

It's not as cold down here in Louisbourg. I got a 2 bedroom cottage here for 2 nights, so i will be here until at least Monday afternoon. Oh yes! I am having a blast! I love the wildlife and the beaches and the people are sooooo nice.
