Coastal Waterbird Survey, December 8, 2013, South Side of Cowichan Bay

Gail Mitchell, Hilary Stead, Kathy Coster, Linda Hill, Jane Kilthei, and John Scull gathered on a cold but beautiful Sunday morning to count the birds from Hecate Park.  The bird list can be found at http://www.cowichanestuary.ca/wildlife/birds/#Coastal_Waterbird_Survey.  The new bird for the day was a Killdeer who appeared to be uncomfortably cold.  After the count most of us adjourned to the True Grain Bakery for coffee.
