Mid-February Findings

I've been close to home at the Coves and Greenway Park lately.  I am now hearing Red-winged Blackbirds which is nice.

We've had some cold days and snowy days with freezing rain in the mix.  

The ponds are still frozen but the Thames River is mostly open now.  I saw this Great Blue Heron trying to keep warm one morning.

Saturday morning at Greenway Park..it was snowing.  There were some nice groups of Common Goldeneyes, Common Mergansers, Hooded Mergansers and a continuing Redhead.

Along the river bank, I saw a nice flock of American Robins.

Looking forward to March to see some more interesting birds!
