Title: my favourite pond
Post by: Napper on December 17, 2006, 06:19:18 PM
Hey!! it is December 17th (very Warm)

I took a little stroll today along the creek that is near my house south of Derry rd.

A little messy but is was interesting

near the creek I spotted

2  crows harrasing a large redtail hawk/buzzard.
American Gold finches
Dark Eyed Junkos
I heard numerous chickadee's

At the pond ,  fillled to to edges with Mallard's and Canada Geese.

On the way home a Large Accipiter flying over the houses in my Neighbourhood..

The only shot that sorta worked out is really grainy(was dark at 11:30 am)  but here it is.. "song sparrow" ?  why??
