Some January Birds:

We typically find Robins in the winter, and this year is no exception. Eight American Robins were seen at Camp Saredaca in Sarnia earlier this week. As long as they can find a food source and shelter, some choose not to migrate!

I saw my first Brown Creeper of 2021 today. They are well camouflaged and 

resemble a piece of loose bark, moving upward on the tree in their quest for food.

An American Crow was playing with some sticks on frozen Lake Chipican recently.

Several Mourning Doves sat quietly in a sheltered area 

of Canatara Park. This one was close enough for a photo.

Look carefully and you will see a squirrel "flattened" against the tree trunk trying to hide from the Red-tailed Hawk above it in the tree. I figured the squirrel was going to become the hawk's breakfast, but some noisy crows pestered the hawk into leaving.

The Wild Turkey that is regularly seen in the park and on our street may be roosting in the coniferous trees behind our house. I watched and heard it peck on our walls and windows the other day, possibly eating bugs that "over winter" in the corners of the windows.

Our fenced back yard is a regular hang out for the turkey. I had to shoo it away from entering our sunroom recently. I think it was trying to find the bird seed stash for our feeders!
