One or more Killdeer have returned to Ashbridges Bay in the large puddles on the beach alongside many mallards. The juvenile White-crowned Sparrow has survived the winter and is still with the very vocal flock of Tree Sparrows at the 'stone beach'. A young Bald Eagle flew overhead going towards The Spit as I was leaving so I went in that direction on my way home but didn't see it along Unwin. A Kestrel was feeding on a mouse hi in a tree beside the little road in to the marina, a Raven was on its nest on the tower, the Peregrine was on the railing of the old building where it often spends time, a Red-tailed hawk was sitting in a tree on the edge of the Wet Woods, the Mockingbird was along Leslie atop a pole, Red-winged Blackbirds were everywhere, robins were singing, the Tundra swan was still at the bridge and all in all it felt like a taste of Spring.

There were Killdeer at Downsview today at lunch.
Red winged Black birds at 9:30 am.
A Kestrel was performing the call, climb and dive routine around 1:30 pm across the whole length of the facility.
No Bald Eagles though.
Napper :D

Hey Napper, is the ice starting to melt/crack/recede in the pond at Downsview?

Sorry I can't see the pond from my vantage point inside the fence
:(
Nothing worth noting today at Downsview
