The day before yesterday I went down to the park to see what was down there.
It was sunny out and the tide was going out. There was ice and a little bit of snow on the ground. It was pretty cold out, but even so It was a nice day.
I walked down to the end of the park, and walked along the upper part of the beach. I did not see much in the way of birds or mammals, so I walked up into the forest and back on to the trail, and up to the estuary. I saw quite a few mallards up there and a few gadwalls, but I did not see either of the eurasian wigeons or the wood duck. I walked on home after that.
The following day I went down to the park in the afternoon.
It was cloudy out and it was also fairly cold out, but even so it was not a bad day.
The tide was low when I got down to the park, so I walked out on to the beach and looked around a bit I flipped over rocks, and was able to get a few more species for the year.
I then worked my way out to the end of the park, and on my way out there I saw some mallards and a few american wigeons.
As I got a little further down the beach I saw a good sized flock of gulls. I looked through them, but did not see any unusual gulls in the bunch.
Once I got to the end of the there was not much out there in the way of birds and mammals. I saw about nine trumpeter swan and a bunch of mallards. I saw some more mallards flying along with the male wood duck. Also while I was out there at the end of the park I saw a humpback whale breach in mouth of silver bay. I walked up to the top of the beach and then walked on the trail to the estuary.
I got to the estuary and saw some mallards, and a few gadwalls, and a few buffleheads, and a few common golden eyes, but I did not see the eurasian wigeons up there.
I walked home from there.
- Question where were the eurasian wigeons?
- Question where was the male wood duck going?
- Question why were there nine swans down there?
