The wife slowing to a walk at the end of a 26.6km run! Shearwater to Seaforth. I tried to get bird photos between dropping her off and picking her up, but she's too fast. #birdingfail #halfmarathon #saltmarshtrail #wifeisabadass

Can't find interesting birds everyday. I have to live my life too, by going to work, or mountain biking! Here is your ordinary suburban Dark-eyed Junco in #dartmouth.

Common Yellowthroat. Name checks out. Definitely common in Nova Scotia, and yellow in the throat.
