Paul's Week 1 Update

My first week was about as eventful as Damon's. Here my first week of birds:



-1 Blue Jay; 1/2/2013; My backyard, Peterborough, Ontario
-2 Common Raven; 1/2/2013; Parkhill Dr., Peterborough, Ontario
-3 Rock Pigeon; 1/2/2013; Parkhill Dr., Peterborough, Ontario
-4 Mallard; 1/2/2013; Ontonobee River, Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario
-5 Wild Turkey; 1/2/2013; Farm near Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario
-6 Northern Cardinal; 1/2/2013; Farm near Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario
-7 European Starling; 1/2/2013; Farm near Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario
-8 Downy Woodpecker; 1/2/2013; Farm near Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario
-9 Red-tailed Hawk; 1/2/2013; Near Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario

These are pretty standard birds you will see in Peterborough driving around. Mostly you see pigeons, a starling or two, and today (while filling up with gas) I saw 3 mallards fly by. I saw a few of these birds at someone else's feeder. Yes, I stopped and got a good look. My biggest find was a flock of turkeys crossing the country road that me and my boys were driving down. I guess my next move is to search out some sparrows, track down the gulls that hang out at the mall parking lot, and wait for my first trip south.
