Title: Maplewood Park - Thurs. Aug. 16th
Post by: Bird Brain on August 16, 2012, 01:26:27 PM
Hi everyone.  I was wandering around Maplewood Park today from 11am - 12 noon and sighted the following:

Blue Jays x 2 - 2nd one imitating a Cooper's Hawk.  Nearby squirrels weren't moving an inch and Blue Jay swooped in for shelled peanuts.  

Cardinals x 2 - 1 adult male and 1 juv.

Downy Woodpeckers x 2 (very small females)

House Sparrows - dozens

Lots of Cabbage White butterflies.

Heard a high pitch squeak, looked around, discovered 2 mating squirrels - these critters have no shame!  Get a room.   :shock:   :lol:

Maplewood Park:  East side of Glen Erin Dr., just North of Aquitaine Ave.
