Wearing a crimson cape,
Brighter than a ruby,
And smaller than a grape."

28C on October 5, 2025 and still going to the beach. Unbelievable and Fantasic. Water was great and no people in the morning and only a few in the afternoon.

I have to drive down to the lake to see them about 1 hr and 10 mins. I have yet to hear them.

Not a great pic but they were near the road with no parking anywhere close....couple of quick clicks out the passenger side window. lol
I've never seen that many together.

🎶Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
Give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama, don't take my Kodachrome away🎶

Mossy stump, a silent stage,
Turkey Tails, turn a new page.
Fungus blooms, in forest's light,
Stripes of earth, a wondrous sight.

A fallen limb, a gentle stream,
Where autumn's hues softly gleam.
Red leaves adrift, a watery bed,
Reflections dance, as sunlight spread.
Nature's quiet, a thoughtful grace,
Found in this tranquil, fleeting space.

In tranquil waters, still and bright,
A heron waits, a feathered light.
Its shadow stretches, long and lean,
Amongst the pads of vibrant green.
A graceful form, a watchful eye,
Beneath the vast and open sky.

Great Blue Heron

Five starlings in the bath,
Splashing with joyful wrath.
A feathered, bubbly spree,
Oh, what a sight to see!

By Lake Erie's gentle sway,
A red boathouse, defying gray.
A vibrant stripe against the shore,
Where memories linger evermore.

Blue sky's expanse, a vibrant hue,
Cormorants rest, a striking view.
On slender branches, they find their stand,
Nature's calm, across the land.

I love this.

Lake Erie Girl 🌊 - Grace 🍁 🇨🇦 @longpointbeach.bsky.social · 11d

It is my favourite place besides the beach in Long Point. I have seen things I never have before and lucky enough to get some photos. The trail is now mostly closed so as not to disturb the migratory birds but going back in May 2026. Can't wait.

"There to my enraptured eyes appeared
In a corner by the bulrush canes,
A sight not beheld by me before;
A pair, of Sandhill Cranes." - Wildwood Slim

White wings grace the water's gleam,
A silent dance, a feathered dream.
Above the marsh, they softly glide,
Where nature's peace and beauty hide.

Sunlight gleams on weathered, tin-roofed shacks,
A charter boat, its purpose clear, no lacks.
"Split Shot Charters," promising the sea,
A tranquil harbor, waiting to be free.

Along the water's edge, a silent line,
Old boathouses stand, weathered and time-defined.
Their faded paints and rust-kissed roofs declare,
Stories of the lake, whispered on the air.
