Red-bellied Woodpecker - Springbank 2017


I decided to go to Springbank  Park, London this morning.  It was 1 degree, overcast.  The section I walked, I didn't see any ducks. The river was high with fast rapids. I just got a picture of a Red-bellied Woodpecker high in the tree. today.

Belted Kingfisher - Springbank 2017

I went for a walk in Springbank Park, London.  It was sunny but cool, -1 degrees.  The snow is all gone...just a bit of ice around.  I first heard and saw a fly by Belted Kingfisher.  It went into a tree high up over the river.  If I didn't see the Kingfisher land in this tree, I would not have known it was there.

I walked further down the river and came across some Hooded Mergansers.
They were a distance away so could not get a close-up.

I also saw some Chickadees, Juncos, Mallards, lots of Canada Geese, Mourning Doves and Ring-billed Gulls.
