Weather turned really nice, +4C for January is pretty exceptional. So Dave and I lunched at Burger King and headed for Fort Whyte.
Was a great outing, lots of school kids, was nice to see them out taking in nature and enjoying the toboggan run.
We came across 2 Deer sleeping in the bush and we saw another two running through the bush.
We saw a Woodpecker flying in the distance. I suspect it was a Hairy Woodpecker.
We also saw a flock of about 12 Ducks flying off in the distance and came across a small group of Mallards landing on some open water in one of the lakes.
We walked around Fort Whyte for over 3 hours and finished off with a warm beverage at Fort Whyte's Buffalo Stone Cafe.
