Some Redpolls

I went out for a drive this morning. Very little in the way of birds once again. There has not been much on the St. Clair River the last few weeks. It sure has been a disappointing winter for ducks on the river. Inland there is not much else either. Obviously the harsh winter caused many birds to leave the area. Red-tailed Hawks, what few there are, are paired up now.

At McKeough Dam I came across a small flock of Common Redpolls.

I checked some spruce there and evidence of owls in the way of whitewash and pellets was there, but nothing recent. Probably Long-eared Owls.
