Default Bird hatches

Just wondering how were the hatches through out the area. We have 19 baby geese with two sets of parents on the slough behind the house and one mallard with 9 ducklings. The weather was about as good as it could get for nesting this year but I think a skunk has got a lot of nests.

Twice this week on the QE2 travelling back and forth from Calgary and Edmonton I had to take evasive manoeuvres to avoid 1 group of geese and 1 group of ducks that didn't cross at the crosswalk ....I think the hatches are healthy this year.

Maybe they should establish "Bird Crossings" at safe locations.

An oldie but a goodie.
