Quick note.

This morning (May 17) Andy Dean and I walked the Bigelow Nature Trail this
morning. For those of you interested, it's a nice little loop that runs
between NKEC, and Glooscap Elementary/Rink. You can access it from the old
CDHS parking lot. Rough map attached on eBird checklist.

I had submitted the nature trail as an eBird hotspot a few weeks back, but
haven't heard confirmation yet, despite the go-ahead on a few other areas.
If the reviewer happens to to subscribe to this list,  could you please
re-consider? It's a pretty under-birded area, with some great habitat. I
was saying to Andy, there could be some nice critters hanging around.

30 species total, the most impressive being a family of great-horned owls.
New to me in Canning was a Northern Mockingbird. Owls are located just
behind the rink, near the tennis courts. I was up twice, 2 adults 1
juvenile in the morning, 1 adult 2 juveniles in the evening. The little
guys are very vocal, and while still fluffy, you can literally see them
lose their downy feathers. They can fly already, so I wouldn't expect them
to be around for too much longer.

Full checklist below:

Best,
Ian
