Sam Smith Park has our own Burdock
Warriors like Barbara Keaveney, Monique Fischer and Sandra Hawkins who volunteer their time and meet in the park to work on the plants. FOSS has consulted with David Creelman regarding the removal
process and the group efforts by the Friends of Humber Bay.
Yesterday, after spending much of the day in
the park birding, Andrew Keaveney, along with Stephan Baker and
Eric Baldo, abandoned their birding day after finding two dead kinglets caught
fast in burdock seed heads. Andrew picked up equipment and filled up four
bags of seed heads for disposal.
"Stephan
and I got fed up after finding 2 Ruby-crowned Kinglets caught up in it
this morning and deceased so decided to take matters into our own hands.
A trip to Home Depot for bags and clippers and off we went to the
southern peninsula to wreak havoc!"
These two Kinglets were far from the
only stuck birds Andrew has come across. Even a red-breasted nuthatch was
found dead.
