Along the Humber Trail at the back of the "low flatlands" there were literally too many Cardinals to count

A Horned Owl was about 20 feet up in a tree near the visitors center

This mangy squirrel was looking for handouts at the parking area

Must have been a great day for you. Nice finds and shots.

I would not have seen the owl even if I was looking for him.

Thanks Palo.

Thanks also John,  We saw the "apple tree" but no luck.  No luck on "beep beep" either.  We will have to return again soon!!
