10,000 Birds

I searched the entire northern end of the park, including the golf course, the reflecting pool, the open water by Porpoise Bridge, and every open grassy spot I could find. I searched Meadow Lake. I searched the grassy areas all around Meadow Lake. I saw lots of Canada Geese – about 450 – but no Greater White-fronted Goose.

Even people with no other interest in wildlife, who couldn’t tell a sparrow from an ostrich (or even a dolphin from a fish) love dolphins. This is one of the smallest dolphin species in the world, not much bigger than the common Harbour Porpoise Americans might be familiar with. Which has always mystified me slightly.
