Rondeau day 3

Morning weather was a big improvement from yesterday... warmer temperatures and nothing more than a fine drizzel until about 4 p.m.  Then the skies opened up once again.  By evening the water level on our site was as high as (if not higher than) when we arrived on Sunday.

Judy got some more pictures this moring of the Cattle Egret.  After lunch we headed to Ridgetown to pick up a few items, then south eastward as far as Dutton.  Where Coyne Road runs dead end at Lake Erie we saw 3 strange, discarded metal tanks (see picture below), each one bearing a number.  Does anyone know what they are?

While driving along Lakeview Line about 1 kilometre West of Coyne Road Judy pointed out a couple of Turkey Vultures perched in a tree.  Peter made the comment that they were likely bald eagles, at which point he was ordered to stop and back up for a better look.  Would you believe they actually were mature bald eagles?
