Springbank Park - London, Ontario cloudy, -1c, feels like -6c
The morning started out sunny so I thought I would go do some birding in Springbank Park. It ended up turning cloudy...so much for the sun.
I saw these 2 Red-tailed Hawks flying over.
There was a lot of Canada Geese on the grounds at the west end of the park.
I walked along the river. The river was high because of the rain and snow melt this past weekend.
I found some Common Mergansers. They were at the opposite side of the river amongst some Canada Geese.
Further along the river there are a lot of shrubbery between the path and river so could not see what was on the river too well. There was about 4 Black-capped Chickadees right in front of me. Most of the time I could not get photos as they were to close! I held out my hand and one landed on my hand. Then it came back on my hand, again. And another one landed on my head on my hat! Sweet little birds!
There was a little flock of goldfinches at a little stream going into the river.
I also saw some Dark-eyed Juncos, Common Crows, Downy Woodpecker and Mallards.
