Pleasant Day for Birding
Sifton Bog
After being under the weather with a cold/flu for 5 days, I went to the bog for a walk. I'm not 100%....but will get back into birding slowly. I didn't see any unusual birds. There were Mallards, Canada Geese, Cardinals, Blue Jays, Song Sparrows, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Red-winged Blackbirds, Grackles and American Goldfinches.
Looks like they are all Midland Painted Turtles.
Springbank Park
With a short walk at Springbank, there were birds around but with lots of leaves on the trees now, it's harder to get bird photos. I heard Red-eyed Vireos, Warbling Vireos, Baltimore Orioles, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Yellow Warblers. There were lots of swallows flying around the river. I took photos of plants today.

Happenings in London
May 15, 2019 - The Coves
It has been a very nice week weather wise. I went to the Coves a few times and to Springbank Park. Lots of birds singing and I'm starting to see butterflies.
I took some photos of the Coves...this is just a part of it.
Sharing a log!
Lots of Midland Painted Turtles.
May 16 - The Coves
I noticed this White-tailed Deer laying behind some bushes and saw two more at another part of the Coves.
The grackles were making a fuss so I looked up and there was a Red-tailed Hawk up in the tree being attacked by the grackles. It didn't seem to bother the hawk. It finally took off and the grackles followed it and continued the attack.
It's nice to see butterflies again!
May 17 - Springbank Park
The first bird I saw was a Scarlet Tanager. I rarely see tanagers in London. They are probably around, I just miss them.
I went to the area in the park where lots of trees are in bloom. I always see a lot of Baltimore Orioles in this area.
