| South Wetland |
We're right at the east track, but we're not going to hike it; instead we'll stick to the wetlands, the north and the south one, although they're really the same body of water except the track bisects them and makes to all intents and purposes two separate wetlands. We're not going to get too far without our crow of course. These pair of Robins were hanging around on the fringe of the wetlands.

| Savannah Sparrow |
Savannah sparrows are not as common here probably because it is not farm country with its open areas, so I count myself lucky to get these photos.

| White-throated Sparrow |
White-throated sparrow are in fact more common that the Savannah's. This little guy is showing off his distinctive yellow head marking and white throat really well. The stunted brush along side the wetlands makes great shelter for the song sparrows as well.

| Black-capped Chickadee |
We've moved up the trail and picked up a couple of chickadees, and a common grackle whose colour scheme is pretty impressive.

| Female Wood Duck? |

| Female Wood Duck? |
This duck flew overhead and I thought at first it was a merganser of some sort, but if you look closely it has prominent white markings around its eyes, which make me think it's a female Wood Duck.

| Pussy Willows |
 |
| Seeds?? |
I really liked the pussy willows which are now showing in large numbers and then I saw the tufts of something or other on a tree and thought they looked equally interesting.
