There is an active Bald Eagle nest on
Simon's property, but I did not see birds.
Drove into Comox, next to visit Head Bear,
who knows both Simon & Mrs. Knight. Talked
with him for about an hour, had tea &
cookies, she gave me a bag of cookies. Met
his wife. They are both old, over 80, but still
active. From here went to visit H.M. Lang,
who lives near Pease's, had supper with him.
From his window observed Osprey, Great Blue
Heron, and Yellow Warbler, Violet-green Swallow
