Bluebirds & Other Insect Eaters: 

Eastern Bluebirds have returned to NW Lambton County. They are known as "partial migrants". Some birds move south while others stay near the nesting grounds, if weather and food availability allow. We rarely see them in NW Lambton during the winter months, but it is possible to find them in SW Lambton.

Canatara's first Eastern Phoebe of the year was found this week. The use of buildings and bridges for nest sites has allowed the Eastern Phoebe to tolerate landscape changes made by humans and even expand its range. However, it still uses natural nest sites when they are available.

An American Robin found a juicy caterpillar on a cold day. (It could be a Giant Leopard Moth caterpillar.) Many forms of life survive cold winters by hiding under a blanket of leaves on the forest floor. 30 Robins were spread around the area looking for food.

Brown Creepers have been searching under bark for tiny tidbits of food. The Creeper in the photo has it's beak open after swallowing a tiny invertebrate.
