American Wigeon
Two days ago, on 19 June 2018, there were two walks I wanted to go on - an afternoon botany walk at Griffith Woods, especially as I have missed most of the walks this session; and a birding walk in the evening at Lafarge Meadows in Fish Creek Park. Usually, I don't do two walks on the same day, as it is just too much walking for me.
I photographed this male American Wigeon at the Fish Creek Park location. We were also lucky enough to see two Black-crowned night-herons there, though they were far, far away. A Great Blue Heron stood at the river's edge, fishing. The group of 8 of us saw 39 bird species in total. When I checked the list on ebird just now, there was no mention of a Gadwall, so now I'm wondering if this photo shows a Gadwall or an American Wigeon!
After the evening walk, a few of us went to Tim Horton's for coffee and chat. Coffee doesn't usually keep me awake, but I guess I'm not normally drinking it at 10:00 pm! Despite feeling tired out from two walks, I was also 'wired' and it was 6:00 am before I finally fell into bed the next morning. An hour later, I was awake, so yesterday was definitely a slow day at home.
