We meet in the Royal Canadian Legion parking at 10:00am.
Last week we drove south past Davie Bay and turned up the hill to the parking spot for Stromberg Falls. This gave some young visitors a chance to see the sink hole and caves, but as usual at this time of year there was no water coming over the falls. Then back to the vehicles for a short drive back down the hill and part way along the Shingle Beach road. The walk through the forest offered some welcome shade on another very warm day and at the campground it was pleasant to sit on the beach logs for lunch.
A couple of weeks ago we hiked up on to a bluff behind Gillies Bay and I explained to the hikers that quite a few years earlier we had done the same hike and found a young Turkey Vulture on the ground right where we had planned to eat. Not wishing to bother it we sat lower down instead. Before we left I walked carefully up towards the young bird with my camera and was surprised and pleased when it actually came walking down towards me, stopped and promptly closed its eyes. The result was a couple of photos one of which I've attached below.
