Recent Outings - March 25-29, 2023

I did some birding at the Coves, London Airport and Fanshawe CA this week.  It sure is nice to see migrants coming through.  The Turkey Vultures are really coming through now.  It's wonderful to see them.


At the Coves, I saw 5 Great Blue Herons.  Here are some photos.













There were also some Hooded Mergansers and Common Mergansers. 


Song Sparrow

This Red-tailed Hawk was on a fence at the airport.  Other birds were Eastern Meadowlark, Killdeer, Red-winged Blackbirds, Dark-eyed Juncos and American Robins.

At the Fanshawe CA area, there were 2 Horned Grebes which were nice to see.
