Cape Chignecto Provincial ParkI took a 24 hour trip to Cape Chignecto Provincial Park on Thursday and Friday. I left Thursday afternoon and after checking in I took a look around. The view to Cape Chignecto was spectacular after an evening shower.
My best photography actually occured on Friday during a rain shower. I enountered a nesting Northern Mockingbird who enjoyed hanging about on the top of a fence post. It's nest was located within an isolated shrub, a common and somewhat peculiar practise. A Red-winged Blackbird also posed. Northern Mockingbird

The beach ridge is covered with columbine. These may be escapees although there is a wild blue columbine. Columbine
My target bird species for this trip was the Mourning Warbler which I did find without difficulty. Unfortunately they had no interest in me so my photos are less than stellar. Mourning Warbler
This Mourning Warbler was in deep shadow.
