After waiting for what seems like forever and reading about everyone else's spring birder it now seems as if spring has finally arrived in Churchill. On April 18, Eleanor and I went out and saw a nice group of birds on Goose Creek Road. A total of 18 Canada Geese but no Snow Geese at all yet. Surprisingly 2 pair of Mallards and a pair of Northern Pintails, at the bailey bridge we saw the Osprey hunting. At Mrs. B's feeder we had a few Common Redpolls and 5 Pine Grosbeak (2 male and 3 female)

We got to the Port and there were thousands of Snow Buntings everywhere you looked there was another flock of about 70 birds per. Not so many Redpolls as before, they must be in the bush nesting because there were mqny, mqny a week ago.
