Corn Stubble

Corn Stubble
Waterloo County, ON
24 November 2013

    Corn (Maize) is a popular crop for farmers in this part of Ontario, both for cattle feed and for human consumption. After the harvest has been completed fields of stubble are often left until the following spring before being ploughed under. The result is a bounty of feeding opportunities for many species of birds, both large and small.
