The Cormorant Neighbors of Little Whale Cove…

by | Oct 31, 2021

Cormorants love to flap their wings in wind after fishing. They especially love sunny days. It seems they also love the cold wind. I can’t imagine…

The Cormorant clan…

I can’t say why I’ve waited so long to write about my Coromant neighbors. White washed basalt rock is a dead give away to busy Coromants when they come for a visit…

There is such a spot just below the coast trail near the Whale watch deck. It’s easy to miss them tucked away below, sitting comfortably on the cliffs, unless you know where they hang out…

Buying my powerful Galaxy s205g earlier this year has been a joy of my lifetime. Since observing, filming, and doing podcasts of musings from my soul, I have learned and appreciated so much more about seabirds and shorebirds…

This new passion to observe nature has provided me with a peace of mind never experienced before. Learning is a passion and obsession for me, especially seeing how shorebirds care for their families, neighbors, and the environment…

As I watch the Cormorant fish and then rest on the basalt cliffs near the Cove, I dream of life as a shorebird. They live as a close community with other shorebirds like the Pelican, Seagull, and Oystercatcher, and others who share in the bounty of the sea…

Oystercatchers will sometimes collaborate with Seagulls when their nests are threatened or they can’t keep the eggs after losing a partner. The eggs are placed in the Gull’s nest until hatched. Gulls raise the chicks until they can be on their own. Yes, foster seabird chicks are for real…

As a senior with a deep love of nature and the peace of my seashore neighborhood, I spend every day possible observing my seabird friends from the coast trail. It is here where I feel safe and close to God…

With peace and ❤ love…
