North Lambton - November 29th.

We headed to North Lambton again today in hopes of finding some target species. No luck with Pine Grosbeaks or Bohemian Waxwings, but we managed to find 2 pairs of Sandhill Cranes! This pair was particularly enjoyable to watch as they preened at the waters edge at Kettle Point. First time I have seen puffed up feathers on a Crane!

We would have driven right past this well camouflaged pair 

of Sandhill Cranes in a corn field if Deryl hadn't been so alert!

A stop at the Forest Lagoons earned us 7 species 

of ducks and one very cold Wooly Bear Caterpillar!

A photogenic Mallard Drake in Canatara Park on Saturday.

Deryl has been a "disbeliever" 😉 this fall when I tell him about seeing an Eastern Screech Owl in the Wood Duck box. On Saturday we were together and this little fellow was quite focused on something beneath him. It was 4:30 in the afternoon so he was probably thinking about supper!
