Making good progress - Birds Hill Provincial Park awaits
Our little group had a great day at Oak Hammock yesterday - lots of first of the year ducks as well as a Marbled Godwit and a Killdeer to top it off. Not everything we saw is uploaded yet - welcome my dears to the joys of back log. As our little group uses mainly cameras rather than phones - there is a little extra fiddling about before everything makes it up to iNaturalist - and while the event is still on, sleep and gathering more observations tend to get prioritized over uploading.
Today we will be mucking around in Birds Hill Park here and there. I will be waiting for any of you who would like to drop by and meet face to face at 2pm in the small parking lot at the east end of South Drive. Its on the north side of the road just before South Drive turns north towards its end at Festival Drive.
Friday overall for the challenge was a great start - nearly 400.000 observations of 27000+ species gathered worldwide by nearly 25,000 observers. Canada's share of this is atm nearly 15,000 observations of 2,100+ species by 1,300+ observers.
Here in Manitoba both the Winnipeg and Brandon project have found lots of interesting things - and yes that include those heralds of Manitoba spring - the red-winged blackbird and the Manitoba crocus.
Here's a link to the Brandon project if you would like to see how they are getting on...

So if you are coming to south drive , I guess you will soon find out I had no idea there was a bike race
We are parked in the parking lot for the prairie winds trail which is opposite the parking lot that connects to pine ridge hollow
Just adding to the challenge I guess - happy Saturday
