Title: Got Kids? Lynde Shores Conservation Area
Post by: DebZ on March 18, 2010, 10:35:30 AM

This is a wonderful spot to bring your (bored) kids on March Break!   :lol:   They can hand-feed the chickadees, chipmunks and squirrels while you check out the other returning migrators.  :wink:   We were there yesterday and saw:  2 hairy woodpeckers, many blue jays, a few cardinals, grackles, red-wings, 2 brown creepers, several nutchatches, 2 mute swans, a gazillion Canada Geese, and many Mallards.  We were only there for an hour, so I'm sure there were many species I missed... :)

i second this.
and its not just for kids!

nuthatches and chickadees will eat seeds out of your hands.
last summer, there was a hummingbird eating there.
