Sunday was very windy and so it wasn’t surprising that a bunch of ravens and several bald eagles were grounded. I am sure they could have been flying but they chose not to do so. One raven was flying into the wind and looked like it was actually going backwards.

Last year at this time I wrote about newspapers and press releases. Seeing as we have a new Manitoba government, maybe it’s time to re-visit that topic.
