Title: Male Wood Duck at Lake Wabukayne
Post by: Bird Brain on May 30, 2009, 03:44:48 PM
Hi everybody.  Today at Lake Wabukayne, a beautiful male Wood Duck trying to impress a female Mallard at the East end of the lake - she wasn't impressed.  :lol:  In the same area, a female Mallard with 13 ducklings.

Attended the Open House and Free BBQ today at West end of the lake - yummy burgers!  The popcorn was pretty good too.  All sorts of interesting displays indoors and people from the Toronto Wildlife Centre were there - very interesting and educational!  

Had the truly great pleasure of meeting Mario in person for the first time and taking a look through his awesome photos.  :D  Went for an interpretive walk around the lake which was interesting as the guide identified various flowers, trees, etc.  Apparently a Green Heron had been sighted earlier.  

It was nice to see the box for a local food bank was overflowing with donations from people attending today's event.
