Canada signs...and birds

Every little town or village seems to heave these wonderful signs welcoming you.  Port Hardy is the northernmost town on Vancouver Island. 
Telegraph Cove, just down the road from Alder Bay.
Port McNeill was the closest town, and sported a grocery store and a drug store that we frequented for supplies (like my unscented sun screen that we had to search for...no scents allowed around the grizzlies).
The First Nations welcome sign at the ferry dock at Alert Bay.
Great Blue Heron
Believe it or not, a bald eagle.  They do not get the white head til they are between 4 and 5 years of age.  They go through a brown phase, and a mottled phase...and we got to see eagles in all three of these phases.
One of the majestic bald eagles that are residents of Alder Bay.
