Twenty one participants met Alfred at Tim Hortons in Wiarton. We drove along Colpoys Bay seeing three loons on route to Malcolm Bluff. We hiked both lower and upper trails at Malcolm Bluff. Picture perfect weather with no bugs. Leaves are full out now and birds were hard to find but with Alfred's great ears many species were located. Lunch was at the Indian Park in Cape Croker where we saw swifts and swallows. At Boundary Road we heard both Gold and Blue-winged Warblers as well as some grassland species. Our last stop was at Sky Lake where we saw Black Terns and heard Marsh Wrens. Thanks to Alfred for his leadership and to Margaret for keeping the bird list.
