All three photos posted this morning were taken yesterday, 28 December, during the annual Audubon Cochrane Wildlife Reserve Christmas Bird Count. The area that my small group of seven people covered was N of Cochrane and E of Highway 22. Though the word 'Reserve' is in the name, this count was like most others, driving all the country backroads and calling in at several farms. The weather was bad, with poor light and gently falling snow pretty well all day long. Thanks so much, Stephen, for driving the four of us safely!
At our previous stop before the farm seen in this photo, I had asked the owner if it was his farm where I had photographed a beautiful large red barn a year ago. He had said it was over at his neighbour's farm. I was so happy that our next stop was at this neighbour's farmyard and I managed to get a few shots from inside the car as we drove in.
I will add our leader's report for this day's count below. Not a huge number of species, with a Pileated Woodpecker being the highlight plus so many Snow Buntings.
"The day was overcast, light snow most of day, calm, -09°C. 20 cm snow on ground. Most streams frozen over.
Total Party kms by Car - 84; Total Party kms by foot – 2km.
Total Party hours by Car – 3; Total Party hours by foot -2 hrs
Total Party hours feeder watching – 1:40 min.
Rough-legged Hawk-1
Rock Pigeon-4
Downy Woodpecker-10.
Hairy Woodpecker-3
PILEATED WOODPECKER-1
Black-billed Magpie- 19
Common Raven- 18
Black-capped Chickadee- 41
