A Walk in the Park

Hermit Thrush


I headed down to Rondeau Park today. The sun was shining and not a cloud to be seen in the sky. It was cold, but a very nice day for a walk.
I started in the campground and found a couple of Yellow-rumped Warblers, Brown Creepers and Golden-crowned Kinglets. Redpolls and Pine Siskins were flying overhead.



Wintering Warbler


I checked out south point trail for the first time since the CBC in mid December. I came across a Hermit Thrush looking for various berries, some chickadees, and a Carolina Wren.
There were several pairs of Cardinals in the park.
Pine Siskins were at the VC feeders among other common birds.
I did not encounter and crossbills this time.
Campground Creeper


There was some open water way out in the lake with many Herring Gulls flying around and a few mergansers.
Through the countryside, there were lots of Red-tailed Hawks, and I saw one Rough-legged on Stefina Line.


Here at home, the Pine Siskins are still invading the feeders!
