Today Jake and I went birding. Most of our birds were seen from the car as we did a giant loop starting in Strathroy, heading first SW to Alvinston then down to Rondeau. In total we got 30 birds. We also spied 5 Spiny Softshells, 3 Northern Maps. We stopped at Parks Blueberries (they are all out of strawberries) and Munroe Honey. We walked the Tulip Trail at Rondeau, stopping to marvel at one of the largest tulip trees I have ever seen.

How do you manage to see so many animals Not to mention plants, in one trip?
Jake has eagle eyes. He picked up birds on the drive back when I was sound asleep.
The click beetle is always impressive. It flew right in front of us - a hard one to miss in flight.
