    Lots of young birds!

    Well this winter and spring weather has been perfect for brooding waterfowl! I have been doing my fair share of poking around the bird nurseries to see what we have for numbers. Got to say i am impressed. Most geese have large groups of chicks and there seems two be distinct age groups of the chicks. Older ones that have new pin feathers about 1/2 the size of an adult and small grey fluff balls
    looks like two complete different timelines

    PS we have lots of birds for this season! Yippee!

    I am up at Canim lake right now and if the mallards hatched as well as the mergansers around the resort here it is going to be a great season. The merganser has 10 little ones swimming and diving here. Almost every pothole along the hwy near 70 mile had ducks in them too.
