On Tuesday May 9, 2017 I went hiking and paddling at the Pinery Provincial Park.
I hiked the Carolinian Trail and then I paddled along the river (south of the store and canoe rentals). While there I was able to see a Muskrat, Pileated Woodpecker, Green Heron, Sandpiper (not sure what species) and the highlight of the day was spending time observing a pair of Sandhill Cranes with two chicks. It was a great day to be in the park and enjoy my first paddle of the season!
For those who might be concerned please know that I shot these pictures with telephoto lens and I was careful not to get too close or disturb the Sandhill Cranes.
I have been following them since mid March and have pictures of them in Kettle Point and on Outer Drive, been wondering where they ended up! How awesome!!
Impressive pictures. It looks like a great day to see lots of wildlife.
