Fanshawe/Gibbons Findings

Fanshawe Conservation Area, London, Ontario

It was a sunny morning but very cold...feeling like -20c.  I decided to go to Fanshawe Conservation Area to try to find the Evening Grosbeak.  This is my third attempt and it was no where to be found.  I stayed at the Tamarack Trail entrance and waited for awhile.  There were lots of Dark-eyed Juncos..the most abundant species.  


Black-capped Chickadee

The White-crowned Sparrow is still here...





A few White-throated Sparrows....


There were 7 Blue Jays around flying in and out.....



A few Cardinals.....



I got my FOY Song Sparrow....


The Fox Sparrow is still around.  It stayed in the tangle to the right of the trail.  


I also saw a Red-tailed Hawk, Common Crows, and a Red-bellied Woodpecker.

Gibbons Park, London

I stopped by Gibbons on the way home to check on the Great Horned Owl.  They are nesting in the same tree as last year.
