I had Friday off work and so I decided to head down to Hamilton once again to bird with a friend of mine, Chris Law. We visited a bunch of places including Woodland Cemetery, Olympic Park, Royal Botanical Gardens, Lasalle Park, Burlington Shipping Canal, Windermere Basin, Red Hill outlet and a couple other spots. It was a great day with plenty of first of the year sightings for me. Here are a couple of photos from the day.

Probably the highlight of the day for me was finding this Yellow-rumped Warbler at Olympic Woods. It has apparently been kicking around this spot for a little while, but it was a nice discovery for us!

The usual ducks were in the Burlington shipping canal.

The Redhill outlet was quite productive and we saw many ducks including Ruddy, Green-winged Teal, Hooded Merganser and this Northern Pintail.
