The Countdown is On!





Just 26 more days! We are very excited about the response this year, but there is still space for more birders! Don't wait much longer. And remember the deadline for registration is the 16th.

We are finally able to access Hurkett Cove Conservation Area, and the birds aren't disappointing us. Waterfowl and shorebirds have arrived and the photo opportunities are many.
Taking off!

Over 70 American White Pelicans were spotted a couple days ago. Of course, once the inland lakes open, and it could be a few weeks yet, they will travel to them.

We are enjoying many species of ducks, Double-breasted Cormorants, Bald Eagles, and Greater Yellowlegs.
