Ecological

  • Encountered a winter wren in the lantern room of the lighthouse.
  • Opened the outdoor hatch to let it out, but instead it hid inside an air vent.
  • I presume the wren is still inside the room, unless it found a way out.
  • Luckily I had the camera with me.
  • The last time a winter wren was documented at Race Rocks was April 19, 2014.

Maintenance

  • Ran the desalinator during the afternoon.
  • Spray painted an empty diesel barrel.
  • The usual chores.

Boats

  • The Royal Canadian Marine Search & Rescue boat came through the reserve again.
  • Several eco-tours, sailboats, and pleasure craft wandered through today.
