Calm before the Storm

Gibbons Park - London, Ontario

This morning was sunny and warm, 16 degrees.  Late morning the clouds started moving in as we are getting rain this afternoon/tonight.  The winds are going to pick up too.  So I'm glad I got most of my birding in earlier this morning.  I saw Carolina Wren, Mallards, Red-winged Blackbirds, Robins, White-throated Sparrows, American Goldfinch, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Cardinal, Cedar Waxwing, Black-capped Chickadees, Downy Woodpecker and Turkey Vulture.  

A big Painted Turtle although I don't see any red on it.
