Tuesday's bird walk went to Lot 10 in Qualicum
Beach. The morning started out with heavy drizzle, but began to clear by the
time we reached the river. There seemed to be a multitude of American Robins on
this walk. We were treated with the sighting of a Great Horned Owl not far in
on a side trail, and also watched a Rough-winged Swallow flying out over the
river. One Purple Martin was spotted high above the trees. We were also lucky
enough to watch a Hermit Thrush feeding on the rocks along the river
edge.
