Feeder Watch Day: February 1



I did get out to the St. Clair River on Sunday. There were ducks to see, but not big numbers. Long-tailed ducks are still hanging out just south of Lambton Generating Station.
I attempted to go on back roads, but they had not yet been ploughed, so I had to just head home. Big drifts were in some spots.
I spent most of the day watching the feeders. Nothing new though. I still have at least 35 Pine Siskins, but no Redpolls showed up this weekend. No crossbills till this morning!




An adult (very large) Sharpshinned Hawk was cruising around town all day. I managed to photograph it on one of its passes.

Late in the day, I caught sight of an immature Cooper's Hawk.
