Belted Kingfisher - Springbank 2017

I went for a walk in Springbank Park, London.  It was sunny but cool, -1 degrees.  The snow is all gone...just a bit of ice around.  I first heard and saw a fly by Belted Kingfisher.  It went into a tree high up over the river.  If I didn't see the Kingfisher land in this tree, I would not have known it was there.

I walked further down the river and came across some Hooded Mergansers.
They were a distance away so could not get a close-up.

I also saw some Chickadees, Juncos, Mallards, lots of Canada Geese, Mourning Doves and Ring-billed Gulls. 

Quiet Morning in Springbank Park - 2016

Tuesday, Nov 29, 2016

I went for a walk at Springbank Park this morning.  It is mild (11 degrees) for this time of year with SW winds. 
There is no snow on the ground.  Didn't see much.  Saw some Gulls, Canada Geese, and Mallards at the river.
