April is the perfect month to walk the Woodpecker trail in Squamish estuary. The trees are just starting to leaf out, allowing dappled light to reach the forest floor. Take time to enjoy the spring flowers and listen for bird song! Here’s a sneak peek at what you might see. Can you recognize the birds singing in Chris’ video?
0:00 Pacific wren
0:37 Yellow-rumped warbler (Audobon’s) (sweeter sweeter sweeter)
1:23 American robin (yeep alarm and cluck calls)
1:35 Ruby-crowned kinglet (chubby chubby cheek)

1:54 Varied thrush (high whistle note)
2:12 Canada goose
2:38 Towhee (rattle, faintly in the background)

Some of the songs and calls repeat.
