Some Findings - Week of June 9, 2025

A flock of American White Pelicans have been seen at Fanshawe Lake this week.  When I went to see them, there were 14 of them in the middle of the lake.  I have seen American White Pelicans in Florida but this sighting was a lifer for Ontario and Middlesex County for me.

The Northern Mockingbird is continuing at the London Airport.  There has been a pair nesting there for the past few years.

Today at the Coves, I saw two DeKay's Brown Snakes.  They were too fast for photos.
