Drumming Grouse

My friend Sarah and I kayaked over to the Ward Ferry Trail and walked north a few kilometers. It was the afternoon and pretty quiet. We did hear a Ruffed Grouse drumming (46) and heard a Belted Kingfisher as it flew by. A Beaver was swimming in the bay near his lodge. Western Spring Azures and Western Elfins were seen. Common Mergansers & Canada Geese were in the river and Black-capped Chickadees in the forest.  Of course the Tree Swallows were abundant.
