Here and There - February 7-12, 2022

This is a nice area to see a lot of birds as people leave bird seed around the posts and trees.  Today, there were a number of White-throated Sparrows, Tree Sparrows, Fox Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow, Dark-eyed Juncos, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Black-capped Chickadees, Mourning Doves, Blue Jays and Cardinals.

February 10, 2022 - Springbank

I decided to go to Springbank to see what was around.  It was snowing at the time.  The Wood Duck is still hanging around Storybook Gardens area.  I found it in the river with a group of Mallards just down from Storybook Gardens.  Other birds I saw were Black-capped Chickadees, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Dark-eyed Juncos, Mourning Doves and Cardinals.

A cold day today, feeling like -15c with light snow and NW winds.  There were not much around but some ducks in the river.  Many Common Goldeneyes and some Common Mergansers.  Lots of Canada Geese and Mallards resting along the banks of the river.  There were about 12 Goldeneyes constantly diving.
