Alan's @alan678.bsky.social ALT #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #oneleg any bird standing on one leg.
The #CanadaGoose looks as if its doing a workout, the #HoodedMerganser had to join in. Both birds have the same pose in the second shot.

Yesterday's birding adventures brought me this. Funny looking bird but definitely worth a photo or two. This #Mink was by the open water on the north end of #LakeSimcoe in #Orillia.

Radio Interference, Lake Simcoe Sightings, and the Armstrong ‘Missing Seven Hours’: Inside a Canadian–U.K. UAP Case Canadian investigator David A. Haisell examines a case linking a Toronto radio show disruption, clustered sightings at Jackson’s Point on Lake Simcoe, and a witness’s seven-hour memory gap from childhood in England. The discussion follows Ron Knight’s on‑air inquiry, Henry McKay’s involvement, and later clinical regression sessions that produced detailed but contested recollections from Gerry Armstrong.

Cross-border UAP investigation links Toronto radio interference, clustered sightings at Jackson's Point (Lake Simcoe), and Gerry Armstrong's contested seven-hour childhood memory gap, reviewing on-air inquiry, regression sessions, and evidence. #UAP #LakeSimcoe

‘Cuts would directly impact freshwater restoration’: Leaked texts hint that Carney’s cuts will target water protection agency By: Anushka Yadav, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, The Pointer

What's the cost of fiscal discipline? A leaked memo suggests the Canada Water Agency could be a target for federal budget cuts, putting the health of our lakes & rivers in jeopardy.

That will be it for today.. About 5km up stream and 5km back..

I did not reach the Pefferlaw Dam, but I will try in the future.

Thanks for joining me once again.

Finally shy of 5km up from river mouth. The limit of navigation. At the CN rail bridge over the river, water is too shallow & too fast flowing to continue.

If fact I hit a rock with the fin & fell in just after taking this pic.
