Some Recent Mid-December Birding

The weather has been 0c to 5c and overcast.  Have not seen the sun for awhile.  We have no snow to just a dusting on the ground.

I enjoy looking at the Mergansers at the Thames River.  They are beautiful ducks.  Common Mergansers below.

At the Coves, I usually find Great Blue Herons.  

I came upon these two male Mallards.  They were fighting when I started taking some photos, this was about 2 min.  I left and they were still at it.

Again at the Thames River, this day 27 Hooded Mergansers were around.  Another beautiful duck.  They were continuously diving for fish.

Saturday, December 17, 2022 is the London Christmas Bird Count.  The CBC has been going since 1909 in London.  I will be birding with another couple for the day.  Looking forward to it.
