September 11, 2017 - Winnipeg, Manitoba
The Winnipeg area was in a heat wave - temps above 30, sunny.
Oak Hammock Marsh Wildlife Management Area north of Winnipeg, Manitoba joint project of Ducks Unlimited Canada and Government of Manitoba.
I saw 2 Yellow-headed Blackbirds, Gray Catbird, Greater Yellowlegs, Wilson's Snipe, Red-winged Blackbird, Canada Geese, Bank Swallows, Crows, Coots and Mallard.
Restored wetland of 3600 hectares. The marsh supports as many as 299 species of birds, hundreds of species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and insects.
The pictures I took from above are from the rooftop of the building observation deck.
I took a walk around the marsh. There are many walking trails.
Oak Hammock Marsh Interpretive Centre is a very nice looking building. Below are stain glass windows overlooking the marsh. There are exhibits, displays, a scenic cafe, a gift shop, theatres, and meeting rooms.
