Blustery Day - Little success in Birding

Hyde Park Drainage Pond, London, Ontario

A very cold, cloudy, rainy day. The winds were strong from the West gusting to 46km/h. It was 3c but with the wind felt like -2c.
I went to the Hyde Park Drainage Pond. The pond is out in the open so with strong wind and rain can be difficult for birding. The pond's water was choppy.  I got my camera on some Bufflehead. They were across the pond.  There were also Mallards.
Trying to keep my camera steady from the wind was impossible. I took some shots of the Bufflehead and went back to the car as my fingers began to freeze.

I thought I would get out to Springbank Park to do some birding this morning before the rain starts.  It was quite windy plus overcast and it felt damp.  There was a flock of gulls at the shallow part of the river....Ring-billed Gulls and a couple of Herring Gulls.

Walking along the river, I saw a few birds otherwise it was quiet. I also saw Mallards and Canada Geese.

It is a cool morning, 4c, sunny, winds light-westerly...had our first heavy frost this morning. 
There was a few Canada Geese, Mallards and a couple of  Bufflehead.  They were resting and diving for food.  They are cute little ducks.  I also saw Ring-billed Gulls and Blue Jays.

The ducks were at the other side of the pond...so quite far away.  The duck below was separate from the Buffleheads, Ruddy Duck.
