Birding in Springbank Park

Springbank Park - London, Ontario      -13C    feels like -17C    Sunny

I went for a walk in Springbank Park.  It was very, very cold.  We've had a lot of snow lately, so I couldn't walk right along the Thames River, I stayed on the walking road.  Some of the bird photos I took were quite far away.  With a lot of twigs and branches along the river, I could not see what was on the water very well.

Being very cold, the Mallards were sleeping/resting and staying close to keep warm.
