Pinery Pinery Provincial Park

  Early November!

Forest birds and winter finches were few and far between on two recent visits to Pinery Provincial Park. Birds located near the water were much easier to find. A pair of Canada Geese were visible from the Boardwalk along the Riverside Trail.

Other Birders paddled down the Ausable channel in their kayaks.

A pair of American Crows strolled down the mostly deserted beach. 

An Asian Lady Beetle took shelter behind a stone from the Lake Huron winds.

Another strolling bird - Herring Gull

Mixed flock of Mallards and Double-crested Cormorants

A few Black-capped Chickadees expressed interest in sunflower seeds.

Juniper berries, although abundant on this branch, are not nearly as plentiful elsewhere.

Canoes stored for the winter.
