With thoughts of nesting
The last two weeks, since the car accident I was involved in (but not my fault, thank goodness), I have been on no drives and just two city walks. My car has been repaired, so now there is no excuse (other than that I have various urgent things to see to) for not getting out, but I'm finding it really difficult to get motivated. Thank goodness Christmas Bird Counts are coming up and I'll be getting out and, hopefully, seeing things to photograph.
One of the walks I did go on was at Carburn Park, on 8 December 2015. It was an overcast morning, 0C to 4C. Not much in the way of photos - I took maybe a dozen shots and only kept a couple, one of which shows these Bald Eagles by their old nest. The nesting tree is way across on the far side of the river, so all I could get was this very distant photo (fully zoomed). It was so good, though, to see this pair together and I would imagine they are thinking about getting ready to repair and use the nest.
This is the final list of the 25 bird species seen (though, as usual, I didn't see all of them):
1. Canada Goose-4385
2. CACKLING GOOSE-4
3. American Wigeon-1 f.
4. Mallard-1500
5. Bufflehead-100
6. Common Goldeneye-600
7. BARROW’S GOLDENEYE-3 m.
8. HOODED MERGANSER-1 f. .
9. Common Merganser-12
10. PIED-BILLED GREBE-1
11. Bald Eagle-5+ (2 ad on nest /3 juv.)
12. Merlin-1
13. KILLDEER-12+ (8 seen in one group).
14. WILSON’S SNIPE-1
15. Belted Kingfisher-1
16. Downy Woodpecker-8
17. Hairy Woodpecker-1
18. Northern Flicker-9
19. Black-billed Magpie-12
20.AMERICAN CROW-13+
21. Common Raven-7+
22.Black-capped Chickadee-37
23.White-breasted Nuthatch-4
24.European Starlin-1
25.House Sparrow-12
