I got around to some London parks this past week. A very cold week. At Gibbons Park, there were the usual Canada Geese and Mallards. I also saw some Hooded Mergansers swimming around and fishing. They are fast little swimmers.

Other birds I saw were White-breasted Nuthatches, Black-capped Chickadees, Downy Woodpeckers, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Cardinals, Dark-eyed Juncos, American Goldfinch, Blue Jays and 5 Robins, which is always nice to see.

This Bald Eagle was flying around and landed right above me! Magnificent birds!
Yesterday, I went to Fanshawe CA to see what was around. I walked to the dam. The lake was frozen the one side but there was water below the dam where I saw the Common Goldeneyes, Canada Geese and Mallards. Really cold! I mainly watched the birds at the start of Tamarack Trail. People leave bird seed there. Lots of nice birds, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Dark-eyed Juncos, White-throated Sparrows, Tree Sparrows, Black-capped Chickadees, Cardinals, Blue Jays, and Downy Woodpeckers.
At one of the parks, the Great Horned Owl just started nesting last week.
