Hi everyone. I was walking around Maplewood Park this afternoon between about 12:45-1:45pm. Stopped at the SW edge of woods to watch a Cottontail Rabbit. Out of nowhere, a male Baltimore Oriole flew right across the front of my face! He was not happy with where I was standing. Perhaps a nest nearby?
Also sighted:
Cardinal x 1 (male)
Grackles
House Sparrows
Red-winged Blackbirds
Robins
Starlings
Could hear a Nuthatch but not see it. Could also hear Chipping Sparrows but not see them. The foliage is filled in big time at the moment!
A few Tiger Swallowtail (?) butterflies and unknown dragonfly.
Maplewood Park: East side of Glen Erin Dr., just North of Aquitaine Ave.
