In the coming two weeks I will be posting pictures of both kayak trips I did this summer. The Manitoulin Circumnavigation trip begins here:

Have a look and let me know what you think.

@kooshan: This bird actually sings a song that is one of those quintessential canadian/outdoor nature sounds. What animal plays that role in Iran?

Looks like a scaup to me... you might want to look at a peterson's from time to time to get your birds straight, koopman. Just look at the secondary flight feathers. It is DEFINATELY a lesser scaup!

@paulski dyrda: You really are a scaup expert dyrda! My advice is stick to your day job brother.
