The Tuesday bird walk went to Rathtrevor Provincial Park. The morning was
very calm, but we still had some fog on the water. Several flocks of Brant were
seen off shore. A few Western Grebe were spotted in the foggy haze, as well as
4 Trumpeter Swans along the shoreline of the resort hotels. The forest birds
were keeping themselves well hidden this morning.
