Spring migration in full swing at West Fraser Timber Park

Park-goers happy to observe returning birds

It was a delightful sight at West Fraser Timber Park for nine-year-old Karson Moores.

Spring migration is in full swing, with waves of ducks and geese returning. On Saturday, April 2, Moores broke into a grin while he sat on a bench and watched Canada geese, American wigeons, Barrow’s goldeneyes, ring-necked ducks, buffleheads and mallards swim by.

Also enjoying the day watching the birds was Syed Raza with his mother-in-law Araceli De Villa, visiting from the Philippines.

According to the Baker Creek Enhancement Society, many of the ducks and geese will stay at the ponds for several days before migrating further north to breed.

Elsewhere at the park, many appreciated the playground, including two-year-old Brynlee Johnson whose toes touched the sky while she swung.
