Cirrus and Mackenzie

When we arrived at the Lift Bridge both adults were
hanging out on the Hamilton Hydro Tower.
As we took a walk out the pier we lost sight of Cirrus. It turned out that she had disappeared inside
the nest box and was not visible from the parking lot. After a while, Mackenzie joined her inside
the box where they stayed for a short time.
He then flew to somewhere on the Hamilton Bridge Tower were we could not
see him. Cirrus exited the nest box and
was hanging out on the front edge where Mackenzie joined her and they mated
once again. They are certainly spending
a lot of time in the next box. Hmm, are
there eggs or are they just getting the scrape ready.
Most of the waterfowl in the canal have disappeared. Today, there were just a few Long-tails,
White-winged Scoters and this beautiful Red Breasted Merganser in the canal. I hope they have all started to head north
and that spring is just around the corner.
It was a beautiful day to be out by the water.
