RDF Saturday.

The LCM people have released the “next ETD” of the Northern Ranger from Goose Bay to North as the 9th July.
Still lots of ice pushed up against the coast, so we will have to get some dramatic change of wind patterns for that to even happen. The map is upside down, but you get the drift.
The air temperatures can’t be helping rot the ice either, though all this wet should do something to it.

The long RDF spell has the birds relying a lot on bird feeders for food. I put some left over lamb and the bone with meat on it; the warblers are having a great time on that. The smaller birds seem to be willing to share the feeder, not so the gray jays, they just swoop in and take over.
The feeder located such that I am having trouble getting any photos, the main reason for it’s local is to keep squirrels off, seems to be working at moment, when I put food out in the mornings the squirrel gives me a ‘what for’ from up in a tree.

Seems the Premier of Nunavut had a hard week, at least in his words he did. Maybe ego had something to do with his comment.

An interesting insight into dealing with alcohol and other abuses from Greenland.
