Rondeau Provincial Park - Birds & Critters

It rained heavily on Friday morning as we packed the RV for the trip to Rondeau Park. That brought back memories of our 2011 trip to Rondeau, driving in heavy rain and arriving to a flooded campground that was still "soggy" when we left a week later.  This year we are happy to say that although temperatures have been below normal (frost warning tonight) the campsites are quite dry.

Strong winds and cooler temperatures haven't reduced the number of birds at our campsite or the number of "birders" on the hiking trails.  Temperatures will be more seasonal beginning Tuesday and continuing through Friday as we head for home.
