Findings at Fanshawe CA

Fanshawe Conservation Area, London, Ontario

I thought I would go to the Fanshawe Conservation Area today to try to find the Evening Grosbeak again.  No luck.

There were a nice variety of birds feeding around the start of the Tamarack Trail area.  Lots of Dark-eyed Juncos around about 35 or even more. 

White-throated Sparrow

It was nice to see the rare Fox Sparrow.

There were Blue Jays, a Red-bellied Woodpecker, Back-capped Chickadees, Northern Cardinals, White-throated Sparrows and heard a Common Crow.  At the dam, I saw the continuing 4 Greater Scaups and Canada Geese.

I saw the White-crowned Sparrow briefly.

Before going home, I dropped by the Killarney pond to see what was there.  Lots of Canada Geese, Mallards, an American Black Duck and the Canvasbacks.  I counted 7.  Most of the Canvasbacks were sleeping.
