CIWT Bird Style --- Day 13/274

Walk: Hand/Wrist Therapy

Distance: 4 miles

This is so dear, Ciwt just had to copy the entire Gold Winner photo and text from The Atlantic's Bird Photographer of the Year Winners announcement.

Treacherous Journey. Gold Winner, Urban Birds. "Goosanders breed in the park about 1 kilometer from Poland’s life-giving River Vistula. Each mother has to move her brood to the river as quickly as possible due to lack of food and safety in the park. They make the journey through a series of underground passages and over a six-lane highway. Each year a group of volunteers help them cross this deadly road by stopping the traffic. After crossing they arrive at the River Vistula where they can feed and grow. This image shows a mother goosander crossing a smaller road because she decided not to use the scary and dark underground passage below it." #
