Lazy days in the sunshine

We have spent the last couple of days enjoying the warm weather.  On Friday the temperature reached 18c and it was quite lovely. We took advantage of the beautiful weather and went golfing at "World Tour".  It's been a few years since we have played here and we really enjoyed our round.  Sadly, everyone else wanted to take advantage of the nice day and the course was busy.  We waited for every hole on the back 9, but we weren't complaining as the sun was out and it's certainly better than snow.









We thought we would get up early and go back to Murrell's Inet to photograph the sunrise.  It was supposed to be a nice morning however the sky was filled with cloud and there wasn't much of a sunrise.  We decided to enjoy breakfast at the Marshwalk instead and walk around and try to capture some of the birds that are in this area.

After breakfast we went to Huntington Beach and spent the bulk of the day enjoying the birds at the Marsh.  It was really quite interesting as we saw Osprey, Eagles, Egrets, Herons, Sand Pipers and many other birds while we were there.




This was so cool to capture on our camera's.  The fish was quite large.










While we were at the marsh in Huntington Beach, this eagle decided it was going to hunt a snowy egret.  We were amazed at how aggressive the eagle was but it wasn't successful.  Other people on the causeway told us that yesterday it had grabbed a duck right out of the water.  Amazing.
