Frigid Cold Days in January 2026

Frigid Cold - Most of January, we've had frigid, cold temperatures feeling like -25c, -27c.  We've had lots of snow, too.  I have been birding out in these temperatures, mainly along the Thames River.  

The last couple of days, I saw Redheads which are not common, Greater Scaups, not common and a female Harlequin Duck (rare).  I've seen lots of Hooded Mergansers, Common Mergansers, Common Goldeneyes and Bufflehead.  A Pied-billed Grebe has been hanging around for awhile.
