Hi again Folks,
Yesterday was a gorgeous day, unlike today... just finished shovelling. So I decided to check out my favourite park, that happens to be the closest for me also. Some of the birds are common, but the fact that they were all there at once, was fantastic for me. Here are a few that made my day. Enjoy!
As soon as I got to the James Gardens, there were three Red-tails and two Coopers (I think... they were smaller) flying around all at once, over the vicinity of the parking lot. Here are three shots of the Red-tail.

Thanks to you both, but if anyone went down to that park on a good day and took their time, they will have the same outcome. James Gardens is my favourite!

Oh, I almost forgot! The Pine Siskin was IDed here:

nice shot of the Red Bellied Woodpecker. Congrats. I did see it during my last visit James Garden, but it is too far away.

Thx Jim! He hangs out near the chain-link fence by the marshy area... Try again.
