Golden-crowned Kinglet: Ralph Hocken Photo.
The Tuesday bird walk went to the Englishman River Estuary on the Shelly Road side. The morning was foggy with calm winds. The highlights included seeing a "white-tailed" Chestnut-backed Chickadee. We watched a Northern Harrier fly low in and out of the fog over the estuary . We spotted four Golden-crowned Kinglets feeding low in the bushes next to the trail.
Seventeen birders in the fog saw and heard the following thirty-three species:
Canada Goose
American Wigeon
Mallard
Northern Pintail
Green-winged Teal
