Springbank Park Birding

Large Rectangle
March 7, 2018            1c, light snow

Springbank Park, London, Ontario

I got up this morning with snow on the ground again.  Being March, It's good to know the snow will not stay long.  I went to Springbank Park today.  It was pretty with the snow on the trees.  It was quiet and peaceful.


I saw some Black-capped Chickadees and a Red-bellied Woodpecker in the same tree.  I've noticed that I have been hearing and seeing Red-bellied Woodpeckers a lot more these last few years.  In the 1980's and 1990's they were rare.  In the early years, I could go years without seeing one.

It was nice to see a pair of Common Goldeneyes.

The cardinals were singing away.

There was a small group of Blue Jays high up in the trees.
