Today my wife spotted 3 Great Blue Herons flying North
I spotted one :( . Since last Wednesday there has bean a large amount of movement in our area (Milton)
Yesterday, by accident I scared off a Cooopers sitting in the tree next door, Wiley thing had snuck up and landed in a tree overlooking our yard where a group of doves were sunning themselves. They of course all scattered.
Much more like spring Robins lookin for worms etc. Grackles, RWBB's Am Goldfinches starting to turn a little different colour.
Up north not so much, Tooo much snow and ice.
I finally spotted a Killdeer at Downsview today.

We had a lot more activity too up north...couple of sparrows....robins emerged from cedars....tvs are def back...
Today of course, it's snowing and stormy....and I try to think happy thoughts....somewhere there are tulips and daffodils growing...I hope it snows there too.
Yesterday I saw my first groundhog....standing surveying the snowscape atop 60cm of snow....I shook my fist and yelled some expletives at him....on my way home I drove past my first dead groundhog...middle of the road....same spot...and I felt guilty.
