Step Into Winter Wonder! There’s a special kind of magic waiting in the frosted forest… the kind where every branch sparkles with hoar frost, every breath feels crisp and clean, and the only sound is the cheerful chatter of winter birds. Take a walk through the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area and discover the Red-breasted Nuthatch darting through spruce, Black-capped Chickadees hopping like tiny snow spirits, and maybe even a bold Pileated Woodpecker or a drifting flock of Bohemian Waxwings. This is WinterCity at its best—quiet, bright, and full of life. Whether you’re out for fresh air, a mindful moment, or your next bird sighting, winter walking in the forest is a reminder that the season isn’t something we just get through—it’s something we can truly enjoy. Watch the full video and let winter’s beauty take root in your heart. friendsareas.ca https://stbarbebaker.wordpress.com/.../finding-winters.../ #WinterCityYXE #Saskatoon #BirdWatching #WinterWalking #NatureLo...
