Title: Brown Creeper at Lake Aquitaine
Post by: Bird Brain on April 18, 2013, 04:32:52 PM

Hi everyone.  This afternoon from 12:45 - 1:00pm, a Brown Creeper at the West end of Lake Aquitaine, directly behind the community centre.  I love these cute little sweeties but sadly only see them about 2-3x per year.  Also, the American Coot, 2 wing-tagged Trumpeter Swans, etc. are still around.  :)

Lake Aquitaine:  SE corner of Glen Erin Dr./Aquitaine Ave., behind the Meadowvale Community Centre.

I hope the brown creeper is there on Sunday morning when I'm there. I have never seen one.

Hi winz.  I hope you get to see the Brown Creeper.  :)  I see them at both Lake Aquitaine and Lake Wabukayne - speaking of which, might head down there early Sunday morning to see what's around then check out West end of Lake Aquitaine (dock area) on way home.  Any idea what time you might be at Lake Aquitaine?

I saw one on Thursday at Queen's Park.  Look for bigger trees with rippled bark.
