Here is a White-breasted Nuthatch feeding at our backyard feeder.
This weekend I went birding with my cousin Ruth. She picked me up at 9. We drove over to Linear Trail, which is 8kms long. We might have walked about 2 or 3 km of it but we still managed to identify 24 species of birds! Including a rare crossbreed between a Mallard and a Snow Goose. We also saw Cedar Waxwings, European Starlings, Northern Cardinals and lots more. It was very exciting and we were there for 2 and a half hours! After that we went to Ruth's house and had a snack, guess what we saw there........A Red-breasted Nuthatch!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats makes 25 species of birds. Wow the last time I saw that many was at Point Pelee! Anyway, after that we went to the swamp but we only saw Mallards and geese. So we decided to have lunch at Wendy's. Chicken, chicken I love chicken.......Hey, Samuel snap out of it. Oh fine , but here is a secret.................................................................CHICKEN!!! OK I'll stop being silly!
Anyway, I had a great time thank you cousin Ruth!!!!!
I forgot my camera though:-(
