Birding and Enjoying the Fall Colours

 October 22, 2023 - Fanshawe CA

I decided to go to Fanshawe Conservation Area as I have not been there for awhile.  I saw a lot of variety of birds...here are some of the species....Dark-eyed Juncos, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Golden-crowned Kinglets, Red-winged Blackbirds, House Finches, White-crowned Sparrow, Downy Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Common Grackle, and Turkey Vultures. 

At the pond, Canada Geese, Mallards, Hooded Mergansers, American Coots, Great Blue Heron, and a Pied-billed Grebe.

October 25, 2023 Coves

It was a nice warm today but overcast.  There were a lot of American Robins, Cedar Waxwings in the berry bushes.  Red-winged Blackbirds and Song Sparrows were singing.  

I watched a Great Blue Heron battling with a huge fish.  





Some of the colours at the Coves.



October 28, 2023 - Airport

It was an overcast drizzly day.  I saw some Red-winged Blackbirds, American Goldfinches, Mourning Doves and it was nice to see a Kestrel.  I took this photo from inside the car.
