Crescent moon over Bayfront Park. I'm at the park area trying to catch the sunset (not really) and check on the status of the 3 swan pairs with nests in the area. Sadly things don't appear to be fairing well. One nest near the Bayfront boat launch apparently has lost 1 egg (down to 5??). One pair near the macassa marina has lost all their eggs and have abandoned their nest. I couldn't find any shell fragments. They were out in open water several hundred metres away with no young. The third pair seems to be still intact. The mother is still on the nest but I could not see the father. #hamont #Bayfrontpark #pier4 #crescentmoon (at Pier 4 - Bayfront)

A very big crowd in attendance at Becky Katz 10 years in wood exhibit at the Casino Artspace Gallery. It was the first time I had a chance to see some of her work. I knew she was well known and respected in the Hamilton Art community. Besides her creative ideas, I now see she also has a lot of talent. #hamont #discoverhamilton #hamiltonart @booboobubble #centre3 @centre3_ #woodcarving #woodetching (at Casino Artspace)

Well that's a kicker to ruin a quiet night. Fire alarm went off. Looks like we rated a 2 alarm. Appears to have been someone fooling around and pulled an alarm at 10:30pm tonight. Most of the building evacuated. A few stayed inside - not particularly smart. Most took their pets out. I tried to get mine but she got in such a panic from the noise, I wasn't able to reach her. Glad it ended up being a false alarm. (at Hamilton, Ontario)

Down at Pier 8 for the tall ships. Very busy.parking is free but swamped, directed and slow. Happy Canada Day 150. #hamont #discoverhamilton #pier8 #bayfrontpier8 #tallships #tallshipshamilton #canadaday #canada150 (at Pier 8 Skating Pad)

The sun finally came out a bit and the temp rose a little above freezing, so I decided to get out for a hike. Went down to Bayfront Park and the Waterfront Trail. The breeze was chilly however the sun felt nice. Stopped by the nesting mute swans that are there each year. My friend Janine had posted that they had laid their 1st 2 eggs. I was curious how.more had been deposited since they take 2 or 3 weeks to lay the full clutch. Fortunately mom didn't make me wait too long. I saw she had at least 9 eggs so far as she stood up after preening and turning the eggs. Not sure if she is finished with laying. The photos were only taken with my camera phone but the eggs are clear in some of the images. #muteswans #nestingswans #swaneggs #bayfrontpark #waterfronttrail #hamont (at Hamilton, Ontario)
