Early morning view from the veranda. This works for me.
The Pacific Bazas that we watched yesterday were in the tree to the right. They literally posed for us.

There are two caches only a couple of kilometers from where we are staying. I drove to one of these and made a quick find.

This was my first find for an April 2. It is also the furthest find from home - 12652 km.
3:00 PM Life
Earlier this morning I drove into Lismore for a few supplies. This was my first trip to the the CBD and it brought back many memories. We drove to Yamba on the coast today. The coastal views were great, but we failed to see any noteworthy birds. However we did see an Osprey, a Common Tern, and a White-fronted Tern flying overhead.
A light lunch before heading out to Yamba

5:00 PM Literature
I have begun reading Elliot Perlman's "The Street Sweeper". As I expected, it is powerful. There is going to be a lot of man's inhumanity to man in this. His description of some of the events of the early civil rights movement in the US is horrifying - how quickly we forget many of the details and how lives were affected and destroyed. It will be interesting to see how the book is received in the US.
