hey,

great kinglet pictures!
was at Mt Pleasant cemetary a month ago but had to leave (they were mowing and leaf blowing and the noise was driving me nuts). always tempted to go back, but that really turned me off.

Enjoyed browing through your pics.  Congrats on the kinglets.  They are hard to get, they move so quickly.  Great pics.

Colin,
Great shots!
Love the colour on the back of the RedTail.
Those Kinglets can drive you to drink...talk about fast!!
I've been meaning to go to MPC. It's huge and I woundn't know where to start.
Any pointers on even what entrance to begin at?

No problem, enter off of Yonge just North of St. Clair it will be on the East Side then just follow the sounds of birds usually lots of Jays making noise means a hawk is around...I always enter off of Yonge then walk East then South and you end up in a great wooded area with a long stream...

Colin ... as always, great photos!  :D

My 2 favourites are your first Blue Jay photo and the 3rd RTH photo - gives new meaning to "kiss my tail feathers!".  :lol:

GCK is very cute - looks totally ticked off in the 5th photo.
