The LCBAS bird walk identified over 35 birds on their First Saturday walk. Along with the regular species, the more interesting were MERLINS, a RED NECKED PHALAROPE, lots of DOWITCHERS, some GREATER YELLOWLEGS, BLACK BELLIED PLOVERS, a STILT, BELTED KINGFISHERS, and a DOWNY WODPECKER. The wigeons, ruddy ducks and shovelers are starting to get their fall color, very neat to see.
