Thank you to Werner and Bonnie for letting us visit their feeders. We saw a total of 29 species. We were a bit disappointed that we didn't see any Snowy Owls or Snow Buntings but had great looks at a pair of Rough-legged Hawks interacting on the Arran-Elderslie Townline and a Cooper's Hawk at the Trailer Park in Port Elgin.
Thank you to everyone who came out and to Mike and Vicky for the birthday cake for Stewart which we enjoyed after our lunch at Marty's in Paisley.
Conditions: We enjoyed a sunny day with a light breeze. It was cold in the morning with a low of -12 but warmed up to -5 in the afternoon.
