Blustery Saturday

Not much to report here for today or recently. The predicted snow did not hit until the noon hour here. It came all of a sudden when the wind picked up and the snow instantly appeared!

I managed to get out for a drive along the St. Clair River and inland, but as for birds, there were hardly any!

There were hardly any ducks on the river. A few of the wintering Long-tailed were off Port Lambton.

Even inland I could not find any birds. I do not think I even saw a single hawk other than a couple of Kestrels. Lots of Horned Larks have shown up recently.

Earlier in the week, there were ducks moving along the river at Port Lambton including some White-winged Scoters.

I think the Snowy Owl near here has long since moved on. I have not located it for almost three weeks.

Once the snow came, the feeders were busy this afternoon, mainly with Pine Siskins. No new birds have shown up yet. I have not seen any Redpolls for over a week.

Maybe I can get out somewhere tomorrow!
