Baby ducks
There were five ducks nests on the course that we knew of, and probably just as many that were hidden in the long grass of the no-mow zones.
Cormorants
The Double-crested cormorants found in Alberta are all black with some color near their bills. They eat mainly fish and eels and spend time along the pond edges drying their wings.
