Hello all,
Today during the CBC for Kids in London, my group found a juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker in the area between the Civic Garden green houses and the foot bridge that crossed the Thames (I have labeled the location on a map, which can be accessed with the link below). This is a very good bird for Middlesex, especially at this time of year. Images and the map can be found here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32835422 Other notable birds on the count include Common Loon, Goldeneye, and an amazing 28 Sandhill Cranes that flew over Greenway Park (I didn't see them). Sandhill Cranes are very hard to come across in our county, and this may be some kind of local record! Springbank Park can be accessed along Springbank Drive, Wonderland Road, and Commissioners Road. The best place to park to see this bird would be at the Civic Gardens off Springbank Dr. Good birding, Quinten Wiegersma London, Ontario birdsbugsbotany.blogspot.ca<http://www.birdsbugsbotany.blogspot.ca> _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
