Geocache Description:


The St. George Waterfowl Park is a Ducks Unlimited wetland. It is situated in the heart of the town, split into north and south sections by Highway 1. There is an abundance of waterfowl and marsh birds seen throughout the year here. While placing the cache today I saw numerous Red-Winged Blackbirds (male and female), Tree Sparrows, a Great Blue Heron, a Black Duck, and an American Goldfinch in less than 15min. Birders in the area commonly see Mergansers, Horned Grebes, and Mallards at this marsh.

Of interest to birders is the appearance the past few years of a Least Bittern (Ixobrychus exilis), a nationally recognized species at risk; this is one of only three places in the province it has been found in recent years.

The trail system is still in decent shape, despite the damage from the December 2010 flood.

Coordinates for the trail head (and parking) is included.

Please replace EXACTLY as found, and Happy Hunting!
