Yeah, what's up with the stockings, eh?  You can't even stuff 'em for the birds and critters.

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.

Thanks for the updates zed. I have been there a few times seeking the Red-bellied Woodpecker, but have yet to see one.

No problem cairnstone. I saw that you and Reuven were doing this for your area parks and I liked the idea!
As for the Red-bellied, I believe there's only one pair and you sorta have to know where to look.

Great list this time.  I was going to hit Lambton this afternoon as well but opted to get errands out of the way to open up the weekend.  I'd like to spot that Winter Wren.  The last time one was there, some woman was watching it, and trying to photograph it AND she sure didn't want to share the bird with anybody.  You could see/hear/smell the annoyance seeping from her if anyone got near, let alone asked politely what she was looking at.    :x

No!
This is the cheekiest bird I have ever encountered. When I bring my camera he either stays hidden or moves faster than the Flash. When I don't bring my camera he poses!

Jan 30 (Sunday)

I was at the park for 45 min.  Not a lot of activity, but here's my list:

blue jays (2)
woodpeckers (downy and hairy) x 8 or so
juncos (a bunch hiding in a tree)

and the most exciting: two incredibly active red-bellied woodpeckers. they were incredibly loud - they sound like thorny woodpeckers fighting with quails or turkeys. they were chasing each other from tree top to tree top. very very active and they wouldn't sit still (nor come low).  I would guess that there may be another 1-2 red-bellied woodpeckers in the park along with the pair i spied. you could hear calling far off.

just a warning as well: if you've been to the park in the winter, you know how the locals like to feed the ducks.  I've never seen the ducks like this before. they were all over the parking lot, lying on the asphault and wandering behind cars that were reversing. just be a little cautious if you visit the park.
