This temporary warm weather brought a Robin flying north over the
Pinery Provincial Park on 20th. On the 21st. a lone Herring Gull flew up
the lake.(Huron)
Locally our Horned Larks were in singles and pairs along N. Lambton
roadsides on Feb 7th.
Other wintering birds locally in area are- Red-headed Woodpeckers
in the Pinery. White-crowned Sparrow and Brown Thrasher in Hungry Hollow
and at our house a Carolina Wren survived and is singing from the TV. tower.
The Tufted Titmouse is increasing it's population dramatically
here. For those who would like to have one take sunflower seeds from the
hand, go to the Pinery, picnic area #9. Park at the nearest picnic table
and hold out the offering. Take a camera to record the event. Weekdays are
best because fewer visitors feed them and the Chickadees.
Good Birding. Alf
