Sailboat Racing/Our World

 Sailing, Humber Bay Park East

The ice has just barely melted and already by last Thursday sailing enthusiasts were out with their boats!

 Red and white sail

But wait! Look closely - where's the crew?

 Another boat void of crew!

 Found a crew member! He's back on shore.

More marine modellers

In fact there were five or six modellers while we were at the park and more were arriving as we left.

Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher/Birding

 Blue-gray gnatcatcher

One of the frustrations of photographing birds is they don't always appear in the best light. Hmmmm. Yesterday, this one (and its mate which you cannot see in this photo) was on the west side of the path in late afternoon. I moved to a better angle and they wouldn't come back. But when I returned to the path they continued building their nest.

 Beginnings of nest made of spider web threads and plant fibres

Blue-gray gnatcatchers are rare to uncommon here so I decided to continue photographing them in spite of the light.
