It was another bright and sunny day. Our first stop was at Peggy's Cove (population 76) on St. Margarets Bay. I expected to see shore and sea birds. I was surprised to see warblers (one Common Yellowthroat and two Yellow Warblers) and other woodland birds.

A Cedar Waxwing was feeding its mate. It might have been an offspring, but the bird being fed was past juvenile plumage.

Our next stop was at Lunenburg. I collected postage stamps for more than 40 years, and specialized in British North American stamps for the last 20+ years. I also experimented with macrophotography, and took photos of my favorite stamps. Even though I sold my entire collection 21 years ago, I kept the photo of my most favorite stamp - the 50 cent Canadian Bluenose that was issued in 1929.

We saw very few birds in Lunenburg, but there were several interesting jellyfish in the water next to the piers. I'm not an expert on jellyfish, but think that they were the Lion's Mane species.
