Today I decided to go to Gibbons Park, London, Ontario to see what was there. I didn't see the owl anywhere. It was cloudy, light showers at times and windy. High of 9, feels like 5. The wind was coming from SW, gusting 44km.

It was difficult seeing birds as it was very overcast. I first heard a Baltimore Oriole (FOY). I finally found it around the middle of a tree. .
