Wednesday, November 16th, 2005 - rain, rain and more rain!  Don't know when I will be able to mow the lawn.  Going up to +12C today.  Good for the newly seeded grass but not much else.  So much for that as this is supposed to be about looking out the window and I have not done anything since April.  The webcam is up and running - when my computer is on only, so as I don't have it on all the time, the picture might not change (well, there is not that much activity that you can see anyway).  Anyway, the webcam URL is:http://www3.pei.sympatico.ca/lomatski/cam.html

We have observed this year that the [Great Blue] herons seem to flock in front of our place, feeding in the tidal pools and the sea ledge in late September and October.  I think we have seen up to 26.  This fall I have noticed more ducks in the cove and probably more than 50 Canada geese.  There were quite a few Canada geese this morning till high tide.  See our tide tables [from DFO] at: http://www.lau.chs-shc.dfo-mpo.gc.ca
