Today I had the privilege of being shown around the Irving
Nature Park by Gilbert Bouchard. I am in Brown’s Flat for the weekend so he
invited me to meet him early this morning.
After over 3 hours of walking/driving around the park and going up by
his house, we saw and heard 53 different species. Gilbert has knows
numerous species by ear and since he lives so close to the park, he knew
exactly where to find many birds that I had yet to see. He helped me
add ten new birds to my life list! Northern Mockingbird (pictured), Swainson’s
Thrush (pictured), Winter Wren, Gadwall, Green-winged Teal, Nelson’s Sparrow, Short-billed
Dowitcher, Nashville Warbler, Black
Scoter, and Lesser Scaup.
