This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_6CcNrXdRGqSpk6Bu0AU29g) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I took a two hour stroll on the Wetland's Trail, Mount Uniacke Museum Park, this morning in my usual clockwise loop. The conditions were ideal, broken cloud, no wind and no biting insects with a few of those small white moths flying about. The first half of the loop is always the most productive especially the portion alongside Black Creek. I encountered at least six Black-backed Woodpeckers, likely three pairs. There were probably more around but it's impossible to differentiate what you see and what you hear. When I was watching two Black-backed Woodpeckers a Northern Goshawk passed overhead. My target bird this morning was the Winter Wren(30++). They were alongside the first half of the loop at 50-100 metre intervals singing their hearts out, as only this wren can. Hans finally has some decent photos of this hard to photograph bird, since they seldom pop out of their tangle of branches and shrubs. Alongside the Winter Wren and often singing together was the Brown Creeper(20+). The usual woodland birds were present including Ruby-crowned Kinglet(2), Golden-crowned Kinglet(20++) and Dark-eyed Juncos(20+).
