Title: Horned Larks at Downsview Park
Post by: Flyingbass on March 08, 2013, 02:59:47 PM

Today there was some activity in Downsview Park.  A lot of crows, red-tailed hawks and 2 horned larks!  I was only in the field  today, that is why there are no woodland birds on the list.   Here is my list:

6 Canada Goose
2 Sharp-shinned/Cooper's Hawk
15 Red-tailed Hawk
20 Ring-billed Gull
7 Rock Pigeon
1 American Kestrel
18 American Crow
2 Horned Lark
8 European

Cheers,

Jonny

Cool. I will be down Monday.

Got lost in all that Keele mess the other day.

When you say "in the field" where do you mean? I wouldn't mind trying to find the horned larks. I'm pretty familiar with the park so if you can give me a good description of where to go I should be able to find the location.

They were by "the mound" (the biggest hill in Downsview Park) that is located behind 35 Carl Hall Road.  Good luck!

I saw them at 11:15, I went back at 1:30 and I could see or hear them. Good luck!
