Chilly Day Birding

Springbank Park - Wonderland Rd Area, London, Ontario

Cloudy, cold, high of 5

Took a walk in Springbank Park...walking under Guy Lombardo Bridge over to Greenway Park.  At the river, I saw a Double-crested Cormorant, Mallards, Ring-billed Gulls and a Herring Gull.

I also saw lots of Robins, a Blue Jay, Cardinal, Cedar Waxwings, American Goldfinches, Mallards, Canada Geese, (heard) Red-winged Blackbirds, Crows, Turkey Vulture, Black-capped Chickadee, Carolina Wren, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, White-breasted Nuthatch, Song Sparrow and a Common Redpoll.  A nice variety of birds.

Ring-billed Gull

I had to take this photo fast, as the cormorant was really motoring it!

Double-crested Cormorant

I noticed this robin has a leg band.

The photo below is a Ruby-crowned Kinglet (underside) blurry close to upper right hand corner.  As I was looking at the photos later, I noticed a Common Redpoll...left hand side above the large branch...seeing only the beak, forehead and throat area. It's not very clear.
