Elgin County


I went into Elgin County, south of St. Thomas to do some birding.  Didn't see many birds at all, very quiet.  It was a cool day but sunny.

Spring at Rondeau! 2017


Saturday, May 6, 2017, I spent the day at Rondeau Provincial Park.  The day was cloudy and cool 7 degrees and strong NW winds.

Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Just walked Tulip Tree Trail  and a little bit of Harrison Trail.  Birds were hard to find.  I missed the White-winged Dove, maybe next time.  It was nice to see Blake Mann at the VC.
