Nothing much to report lately. I went to my usual favourite places.
We had a couple nice sunny days this week. Monday, was a nice day for a walk...sunny and high of 3c. I saw a nice variety of birds along the Thames River......American Robins, Northern Flicker, American Goldfinches, Downy Woodpeckers, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Carolina Wrens, Black-capped Chickadees, six Common Mergansers, lots of Canada Geese and Mallards. The birds were very active and some were singing.

Yesterday, I went to the Coves to see what was around. Most of the coves are still frozen with some small open areas with Canada Geese and Mallards. I started my walk and looked up and the Red-tailed Hawk was in the tree looking down at me. Last month, he was in a tree very close to where I was standing. I continued on and coming back the hawk had not moved. He flew to another tree not far from me. I think he was enjoying the warm sun.
I went to Melbourne (2 times) the last few weeks to find the Short-eared Owls. No luck!
Last week, I saw the Rough-legged Hawk, a Kestrel, Bald Eagle and Red-tailed Hawks. This week there were 3 Northern Harriers and Red-tailed Hawks.
