Today we had the children's walk at Tudek Park, and we had a total of 20 people. Four children and their adults, some people who had joined the Woodcock Watch, and some first timers, enjoyed the lovely morning. The weather was just perfect, pleasant temperature, no wind, and gentle sunshine.
The birds collaborated, with great views of a group of Gold and House Finches enjoying some birch catkins, and a Red-Bellied Woodpecker that stayed for a very long time at a hole, calling repeatedly. We wanted to believe he was talking to a female inside the nest, but we could not confirm if it was a nest or if there was a female in it, however this awarded us great views of the bird. We enjoyed a Field Sparrow serenading us for the whole duration of the walk, and the slow song song of a newcomer Blue-headed Vireo.
The best thing was the crowd. Rarely have I had such an enthusiastic bunch, soaking in each bird with pleasure, keeping a slow pace to get as much as possible from each new sighting. The conversation with the young eBird assistant was stellar, and the sheer enjoyment of the participants, made this walk one of my favourite walks so far.
