Post by: Napper on April 22, 2013, 04:50:51 PM

Today at Noon Looking across into Downsview park I spotted an adult male Northern Harrier
flying low being harassed by a RWBB.
Also spotted....a single Barn Swallow and a Eastern Meadowlark.

The Kestrel's(qty 4-6), RedTails, RWBB's & Killdeer are constants

"Nortern Harrier" LOL

It is still around today, soaring well above the ground into the park from the airfield.

Also spotted a few more Barn Swallow's and and a Tree Swallow flew directly over me heading

for the airfield.

Hey Napper,

I think I saw the same one today!We have been getting quite a few swallows toward the pond. Also a number of Horned Larks in the meadow.  During a tree planting program a RWBB chased of a small group of Brown head Cow birds.  

Happy Birding,
