Today I saw many happenings at McIntyre Creek. There were cyclist, guys wading in the creek, families enjoying the "beach", and dog walkers. Yesterday there were 3 adult eagles watching the ducks who were huddled into the reeds. A duck family that once had 5 or 6 ducklings was down to 1, and I found it interesting to see that to protect the one remaining baby, one adult swam in front of the duckling, and the other adult swam behind. It appeared to be a male and female sharing the responsibility for protecting their last offspring of the year.
Another thing I found was bear poo, right in the area proposed as Porter Creek D. If we don't leave this corridor open for wildlife to pass, we will be have many more encounters of the unwelcome kind between wildlife and human residents.
