One Week Away!

By this time next week, all the planning and organizing will be over for another year, and it will be another Festival in the books! We are very excited about the response, and now it is up to mother nature to accommodate us...birds and weather alike.

This past week or two we have been spotting birds returning to the area.
There's a group of 7 Sandhill Cranes staying in a field back of Dorion...we have been keeping an eye on them. Yellow Rumped Warblers are at Hurkett Cove,
as were some Meadowlarks last week.
The weather has been quite cool, and often very windy, so hopefully our checklists will be increasing this week, in preparation for the weekend.


A group of Sandhill Cranes...one must be hiding...

Yup those are all Lesser :)
Just wondering how many participants are there in the fest?

Hi Nolan, looks like about 80 for DAY 1, and about 60 for DAY 2! Great response! Looking forward to meeting you.
