Signs of Spring

London Area

Lovely morning for birding.  It's nice to see and hear more signs of Spring.  The Red-winged Blackbirds, Song Sparrows, American Robins, Northern Cardinals, and Carolina Wrens.

I saw a pair of Wood Ducks...they will probably nest in this area.

Red-bellied Woodpeckers are already building their nests. 

Starlings are finding a suitable place for nesting.

Song Sparrow

Great Horned Owl - Her babies are underneath her while she is having a sleep.  The babies are probably getting big as she is more propped up.  Last time I could only see the top of her head.

Sandhill Cranes

Greenway Park

This morning, I was birding in Greenway Park and was excited to see Sandhill Cranes fly over.

Annual Spring Flooding - Gibbons Park

Gibbons Park, London, Ontario

I went for a walk in Gibbons Park this morning.  The Thames River is overflowing and causing some flooding. The geese and ducks love it!  I took some shots of the flood areas...it was a very dull, overcast morning so photos are not great.

I visited Mom Owl, she was having a nap.  The babies are in there somewhere!
