Sigh....no no no.....not good....southwesterly??????? It's tooooo early....nooo....sigh....Oh wait....might have been Wrongway Willy and his family.


I didn't realize they yodelled in flight.


Nice spotting...I can understand how that made your day....they're a true north strong and free icon (and I use the phrase as a Canadian...not in support of the feeble minded traitors who tried to overthrow our government.)

I was birding in Guildwood Park in Scarborough on Canada day when I saw a lone loon flying overhead, heading north away from the lake. Yeah, it is a rare sighting here this time of the year and eBird indicated so when I submitted my checklist.
