Spring (May) at Bayfield Mews: Blue water, Eagles and Orioles.


Bayfield River outlet, pier and navigation light

May was really nice around here this year (maybe this is normal, but it's our first). We continued to drop in on the eagle family from time to time.

Parent calling to the eaglets, maybe saying "Fly!"

Eaglets were growing quickly
Stretching its wings
Bigger and better

The "little" eaglets
The day came when we saw a young one in flight

This young one had a premature landing. Back in the nest next day though.
 Pioneer Park was greening up:



The little Mews lending library opened up. It's handy, right next to the central mailboxes:

We had a number of colourful visitors to our back patio and the hummingbird feeder: 
The female Oriole preferred the orange

The male Oriole and the hummingbirds preferred the feeder:

Note the one larger hole for Oriole access to the feeder

It was really nice to see the Bayfield Marina open up, near the mouth of the Bayfield River:


These slips filled up as summer neared

Part of the Mews property is a 6-acre woods. Some of the residents like to add whimsical touches to the hiking trail:






We had some very pleasant pre-bug hikes in nearby conservation areas:

See Cathie on the trail?
