Christian showing me
use his camera. |
We went to Assiniboine Park in the English Gardens with Christian Artuso the coordinator of the Manitoba Breeding Bird Atlas. We had to wake up at 7:00 AM so only me and my mom went. I used Christian's camera most of the time so I don't have many pictures right now.

| Us looking at birds. |
We saw many different warblers, Nashville Warbler, Tennessee Warbler, American Redstart, Common Yellowthroat, Yellow Warbler, Orange-crowned Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Palm Warbler and maybe some others that I missed. Many of these warblers I have never seen before.

We also saw many Cedar Waxwings in the trees. We saw lots of robins, White-breasted Nuthatch's, chickadees, woodpeckers, Swainson's Thrushes, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and much more.
We saw a hummingbird and I got some very good pictures of it with Christian's Camera.
Then we went to the duck pond and saw many Mallards, who have a different plumage right now so they are not green. There were a couple Ring-necked Ducks which were fun to watch and take pictures of. After being at the duck pond a while we went back to the gardens.

My favorite bird we saw there was the Eastern Screech Owl sleeping in a tree the whole time we were there. We got really close to it but its face was somewhat covered by branches.
Christian will give me the pictures I took with his camera and I'll make a post with all the photos. Stay tuned for more photos.
Thank you Christian for taking us out. You have helped me a lot with birding.
