London - The Coves - Tuesday, October 8, 2019
I decided to go to the Coves this morning. It started off cool but warmed up later. There were lots of robins flying back and forth and chasing each other. Then I started to see more birds around and there was a nice flurry of birds amongst the robins. I was standing on the path and the birds were everywhere. There were Ruby-crowned Kinglets, White-throated Sparrows, Song Sparrows, Cedar Waxwings (immatures), Downy Woodpeckers, Red-bellied Woodpeckers (3), and Northern Cardinals. I managed to see an Eastern Phoebe and Swainson's Thrush.
The trees are really nice in the coves right now.

I also saw Turkey Vultures, Ring-billed Gulls, Blue Jays, Northern Flickers, White-breasted Nuthatch, Carolina Wren, Mallards and Canada Geese. In the flurry of birds I probably missed some as they were very active in the trees.

Today was a different story. I had a hard time finding birds. It was quiet.

| American Robin |
 |
| Red-winged Blackbird |
 |
| Downy Woodpecker |
I'm not sure if this thrush is a Swainson's or Gray-cheeked.
