Title: Lake Aquitaine and Lake Wabukayne
Post by: Bird Brain on October 28, 2009, 12:58:36 PM
Hi everyone.  

On Saturday, went for a walk around Lake Aquitaine and was surprised to see the following:  Blue Jays, Cardinals, Chickadees, Crows, Red-breasted Nuthatches and Robins all together in the same pine tree!  Lake-wise, lots of Canada Geese, Mallards and Gulls.

On Sunday, went for a walk around both Lake Aquitaine and Lake Wabukayne.  Lake Aquitaine sightings same as above, Lake Wabukayne sightings same as above plus a White-breasted Nuthatch (m.), Downy Woodpecker (f.) and Black Duck (m.)

This whole month, have been seeing and hearing dozens of Red-breasted Nuthatches up here.  It was a pleasant surprise on Sunday to finally see the White-breasted Nuthatch back again.  

Lots of squirrels digging and running around at both parks.
