We used to have a cardboard cutout that was printed with a gray tabby. Our cat would go on alert and puff his tail. It seemed mean to taunt him with it!

Life list! I saw a group of Ruddy turnstones down on the beach. Really striking birds! Apparently they are stopping by on their way from the Canadian arctic to Central America. It was quite a pattern of color when they took off in unison. (Photo: Audubon) #Newfoundland #birds

Saturdays mean that the locals are taking their boats out to fish for cod. They bring them to the wharf and cut the fillets. The seagulls stand by for any scraps thrown their way. #Newfoundland
