The Birds of Crosswinds - A Geocache Series
This Geocache is one of a series of 12 geocaches that was launched in association with Crosswinds Marsh annual Hobby Day and Birds of Crosswinds Geocache event on August 21, 2021. Each of the cache containers has a unique code in the container cover. This code may be entered into an online form. If all of the 12 codes are correct the participant will be eligible for a commemorative collectable. To go to the form click HERE..
The theme of each geocache in the series will be that of one of the over 100 bird species that have been observed in Crosswinds.
Canada Goose: A bird that most people know and either love or hate, the Canada Goose, can be found at Crosswinds in large numbers. These are flocking birds, who migrate together in a distinct “V” shape pattern. The young start off as small poofs of yellow feathers, but through the summer as they grow they shift in coloration to the usual brown and white of the adults that we all know and recognize. By fall they are preparing to return to their winter feeding grounds down south, but they are sure to return north in their signature V by spring.
The cache: The cache is a medium-sized lock-n-lock hidden along the Blue Heron trail
