Many thanks to the organizers, Jim Cameron & Warren Parsons for arranging t=
his wonderful outing this past Sunday at this simply spectacular provincial=
park.
Jim Cameron led the walk which was preceded by a detailed look at the best =
types of binoculars & helpful equipment aids,=C2=A0how to properly focus bi=
noculars, a look at good field guides, etiquette while participating on fie=
ld trips, the steps to properly identify birds.
The walk itself lasted a little longer than the=C2=A0planned 3 hours=C2=A0b=
ut nobody was complaining. It was a fairly rugged trail but we were able to=
see some great birds. Juncos were in and about as well as a number of Song=
& White-throated Sparrows.
A Hermit Thrush landed close by as we were starting out
For myself I saw my first Boreal Chickadee. We=C2=A0checked on a successful=
nesting colony of Common Terns. We saw both Lesser & Greater Yellowlegs, s=
everal of each actually perching on the same rock. Jim brought his scope so=
we were all able to see the detailed markings. We saw a number of rafts of=
Common Eider with young of different ages, various kinds of gulls in diffe=
rent stages of maturity. A female Common Yellow-throat made for a wonderful=
view thanks to a little 'pishing' by Jim to coax it out. One of the member=
s also saw the male a further way along. A number of Yellow-rumped Warblers=
were happening into view now and then. An Osprey, as well as several Bald =
Eagles were noted in the air or on their nests.=20
A number of =C2=A0Pitcher Plants were growing along the trail in certain ar=
eas as well as flowering blueberry bushes and closer to the shoreline were =
quite a few Baked Apple berries, ate my first one. Delicious!
A very memorable field trip.
Thanks again!
