Hi all,
I took a walk with my daughters Amber and Emily this afternoon and we were
able to locate the family of the title species along the Heritage Trail -
fairly far along to the lookout, which we could see whilst watching one adult.
I think we heard all 4 and saw 3 of the birds.
There were also 2 American Robin in Red Cedars at the causeway, where
there is a fairly large area of open water and we counted 16 Muskrats in and
around the edges of this water. 1 Black Duck, several Mallard and some Canada
Goose rounded out the assembley.
We caught sight of a bird that seemed to come out of this area that flew
rather poorly, resembled woodcock/snipe but seemed to land across the road and
on the snowy slope of the Ausable to the north of the causeway. We checked the
wet, muddy areas again on our way out but to no avail and I only mention this
so that anyone going into the park in the next few days might want to check
this area.
Cheers and a Happy Christmas to all - Maris
