I stopped in one day after work last week... November 1st or 2nd. I saw a Merlin deep in the woods and 2 Red Bellied Woodpeckers... one was at a nest, atop a Birch Tree. I didn't know it was a nest until after I looked at the shots on the computer.
I also have noticed some kind of Heron 3 days over the last week. As I cross the bridge over the Humber, driving south on Scarlet Road. He's been sitting on a rock just west of the bridge in the middle of the river. So, the one day I decide to go look for him with camera in hand... no sighting. The next day, cross the bridge and there he is. But, I don't feel like doing a U-turn and get to the parking lot, then do the walk to where he hopefully still remains. I saw him again on Saturday but once again, crossing the bridge and heading home... no time for park ventures.

Thanks for the updates zed. I have been there a few times seeking the Red-bellied Woodpecker, but have yet to see one.
-
No problem cairnstone. I saw that you and Reuven were doing this for your area parks and I liked the idea!
As for the Red-bellied, I believe there's only one pair and you sorta have to know where to look.

Great list this time. I was going to hit Lambton this afternoon as well but opted to get errands out of the way to open up the weekend. I'd like to spot that Winter Wren. The last time one was there, some woman was watching it, and trying to photograph it AND she sure didn't want to share the bird with anybody. You could see/hear/smell the annoyance seeping from her if anyone got near, let alone asked politely what she was looking at. :x

This is the cheekiest bird I have ever encountered. When I bring my camera he either stays hidden or moves faster than the Flash. When I don't bring my camera he poses!

Jan 30 (Sunday)
I was at the park for 45 min. Not a lot of activity, but here's my list:
blue jays (2)
woodpeckers (downy and hairy) x 8 or so
juncos (a bunch hiding in a tree)
and the most exciting: two incredibly active red-bellied woodpeckers. they were incredibly loud - they sound like thorny woodpeckers fighting with quails or turkeys. they were chasing each other from tree top to tree top. very very active and they wouldn't sit still (nor come low). I would guess that there may be another 1-2 red-bellied woodpeckers in the park along with the pair i spied. you could hear calling far off.
just a warning as well: if you've been to the park in the winter, you know how the locals like to feed the ducks. I've never seen the ducks like this before. they were all over the parking lot, lying on the asphault and wandering behind cars that were reversing. just be a little cautious if you visit the park.

i was there today also, and i saw most of those, and also several blue jays. and my favorite bird of the day: a very noisy domestic goose (!!!) swimming alongside the canada geese. has anyone else ever seen such a thing? did this whitey escape from the farm? and if so, why?
would agree that the paths are incredibly icy - one must proceed with extreme caution.
a beautiful spot in the city!
-
also one red squirrel, a real treat...
-
also one red squirrel, a real treat...
it is, hands down, the nicest park when it comes to finding beautiful squirrels.
i took some pictures of the most beautiful red squirrel i've ever seen - it was more orange than red and it looked almost golden in the light.
other than the albino squirrel at Trinity Bellwoods, Lambton Woods has the nicest squirrel population. and they're half curious, half shy. you never know when one is sneaking up behind you.

I'm surprised you only saw one!

I have not seen the Redpolls, but there are 2, possibly 3 Winter Wrens in the park.
-
I'm still waiting for Zed to get a shot of the winter wren. :P
And as someone who lives within walking distance of Lampton Woods, I really hope the location of the Screech Owl remains quiet and when people are there and lucky enough to see him they don't bring attention to him when they are there. The teenagers party in that park in the Spring/Summer, I'd hate to see harm come to the little guy because some people have no regard for wildlife/nature/birds. We've seen it quite often there, people throwing things at squirrels, birds, etc. :evil:
I hope this didn't come across as a lecture, it wasn't meant that way, I just worry about the little guy.
-
When I think about teenage punkers harming creatures, I get into my "vigilantism is the only way" frame of mind and my wife tells me "take it easy" but really, what's to be done? Once I saw an obnoxious young couple throwing rocks at ducks and I went up to them and quietly said: "Stop that right now." Luckily for everyone, they did. But I worry. What kind of tortured maniac throws rocks at ducks, owls, etc?
-
At least you're able to do it quietly, I'm afraid my temper gets the best of me when I catch them. Poor Rob, I'm going to get him beat up one day. :oops:
-
She screamed at someone in Lambton last Spring and then it all got quiet for about 5 seconds... and then all the Squirrels started crying. :cry: She's got a voice man and it's darn right scary when she lets it out... :evil:
Anyways, I'd like to get a Lambton report on here again but the weather ain't co-operating today.
-
I don't know, Angie, maybe that's the better way! Scare the bejesus out of those young monsters and maybe they'll learn their lesson? Unless of course a goose attacks you first, then it's just self-defense, and we all know how nasty geese and mute swans etc. can be
moving on
i'm so addicted to looking at birds that when it rains like it's raining now i feel testy and depressed!
all the best to you all

Being a teenager myself (15 turning 16), I dislike the fact that you are calling us ''young monsters''. There are only a few immature teenagers who engage in these dumb activities, let me emphasize the fact that there are extremely few who would even think of hurting animals or birds. I have noticed that as I get older, people tend to stereotype teenagers as bad people who have nothing better to do than cause trouble, for example when people see me walking around with binoculars looking at birds they tell me to stop walking around with binoculars in public because its not good, I tell them that I am looking at birds and they say ''sure whatever''. Would they say that to an adult birder? I dont think so. Being a teenager and especially a teenage birder is difficult these days and I am tired of adults other than my parents stereotyping and being rude to me. I remember one lady told her dogs bark at me because she thought she I was following her with binoculars. We do a lot of good for the enviornment and we are the future of birding. Teenagers are far from monsters so please dont call us that.
Thanks for your consideration
Will

He wasn't calling all teenagers young monsters he was calling the teenagers that were throwing rocks at the ducks young monsters, and I personally don't care what age a person is, if I see someone attempting to hurt an animal/bird/nature, I'm saying something, period.
Personally, I LOVE IT when I see younger people into birding, gives me hope for the future. Sorry, you've had a few people think things that aren't true. That's happened to us too, as Rob looks more like your typical rock and roll party dude then the bird nerd he is.
Moving on, as I never meant to steer this conversation away from what it originally started out to be.
Good birding and happy spring to you all, as it is spring now, with RWBB's being spotted at Lakeshore and Islington today. :D

I have never had any one treat me like that, it is very rare that someone will not say hi back perfectly happily when i say hello. And it IS overwhelmingly teenagers who are causing the problems.
-
Thanks Angie, and much love to the rest of you young peaches!
Gentle birders first please recognize the playful humor in my tone! Angie was right to point out that young monsters are young folks who throw rocks at ducks. Types like that should be imprisoned in dungeons filled with angry mallards. And Will, if anyone gave you a hard time while I was around, I assure you, I'd have your back.
The bottom line, as we all know, is this: the world is full of jerks of all ages, shapes, and sizes. Hey! Maybe I'm one of them!
Let's stay chipper, chippers; spring is a-coming!
Best to you
David B.

Hello all,
I am sorry for my ranting on about the troubles of teenagers, I didn't mean to take this conversation away from birds but I just had to get that out there that sometimes its hard to be a teenage birder, and Reuven if you have never experienced any ridicule from other people then you are a lucky guy :) And yes I do agree now that it is in fact teenagers causing many natural disturbances to our environment. LOL yeah I agree about the dungeon filled with angry mallards, that would teach them a lesson. And don't worry I can assure you that everyone here is far from a jerk :) . Now lets get back to talking about birds at Lambton Woods and James Gardens!!! :D
Cant wait till spring!
Will
-
I was in Lambton Woods last week too. Did not see as much as was posted, mainly because my eyes were focused on the path. Very slippery and did not want to fall.
And you do not have to be young to get weird stares. Try being on the TTC with a pair of binos around your neck. People sure look at you funny. Yup I am stalker...of birds of course!

Just a quick stop today.
Along with the usual suspects, a dozen or so RWBB's.

I hope we get to hear some RWBB's this weekend, it's been much to long.

Well, it's been awhile since I dropped in, and chronic insomnia can be useful if you're catching up on the latest local avian news, although you will eventually go completely insane when you're dozing off mid-day, losing things pretty-well on the hour, waking up in ATM enclosures to be greeted by a couple of "Security Personnel" with their BB-guns pointed at you, then handcuffing you and driving you down to Cherry Beach (all the while berating you with comments inappropriate to submit to an undergraduate Engineering weekly, let alone repeat at this wonderful refuge in cyberspace) and snidely implying that you're a "Peeping Tom" -- a little euphemising there -- and a vile, disgusting pervert who should spend the next 20 years or so locked in a cage with other "deviants") ... yep, down to Cherry Beach at three in the a.m. for "further questioning," which involved even more abuse and humiliation and "confiscation" of your Leitz Trinovids (" ... so you won't be prowling respectable neighbourhoods peeking into bedroom windows and whatever else you revolting lowlifes do for your 'jollies' ...") and leaving you there, pantless, in minus-20*C darkness -- ever try hailing a cab at three or four a.m. in January, sans trousers? Good luck to you!
Which, of course, brings me to teenagers. When I was a teenager (I vaguely remember reaching the new, lower drinking age -- thanks, Pierre, and R.I.P., -- but there are huge gaps subsequent to that, probably), I made every effort to keep my Adventures in Field Ornithology my "uncool" secret. Imagine a 'Junior Hippie' (First in my troop to earn a "Talking Down" the Festival-goers Who, Foolishly Ignoring The Hourly Announcements Regarding the Adulterants in the Brown Acid, Man badge!) who emulated the likes of Iron Butterfly -- still not recognized as a full species by The American Society of Really Stuffy Entomologists -- Black Sabbath, Grand Funk Railroad (soon to abbreviate themselves to 'Grand Funk') and spending half of Grade Nine furtively taking in the sights and sounds of Duffin Marsh (Now likely a maze of subdivided clapboard shacks with a tiny stand of Phragmites communis) pathetically nodding in the gentle breeze rolling across Lago de Ontario, hiding my binoculars in my jacket as I made my way back to, ahem, 'civilisation' moving like one of the zig-zagging snipe which were fairly common down that way back in the early '70's ...
Gah -- Margaret is cursing at her alarm clock as I type; sounds a lot like it's going to be another "When are you going to do the rings in the Wildcat? Old Henrietta's sucking two litres of 40-weight a day, you piece of furniture!!!" miserable day ...
So -- what's your personal "It's officially Spring" migrant? So many species were true harbingers back then, before the nuclear station, before all the people with their fruit-laden ornamental shrubs and trees and their feeders ...
So, what's your "It's official now!" migrant?
Where'd I stash my 'jammies?

Hi there folks!
How icy is it over there these days? Has the ice melted away from the path yet?
All the best,
David Bell
-
once the ice melts, you are left with a lot of muck - especially around that feeder
-
Paths aren't nearly as bad for ice as last week but really messy, muddy and literally crappy with too many dog walkers who do not scoop the p**p. So I don't know what's on my floor mats in the truck right now but they are getting hosed this afternoon.
One other warning, it's March break and with a sunny afternoon, there is a lot of people/kids running around.
-
next to no kids there today. i was there from 11-12:30.
only thing there was a really noisy and obnoxious dog owner who let her dogs off leash and sat there, screaming at them.
needless to say, zero screech sightings.
but....
i did see a beautiful deer (about 100 paces north of the feeder). it was 30 ft from the path and didn't care that 3 of us were watching it eat. it even mosied down the path and watched a dog and its owner. its incredibly cute (except for the scratch/infection under its left eye).
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5255/5529466555_c4abbd75b1_z.jpg)
otherwise, the woods was incredibly silent. just your typical spring birds (RWBB, grackles, finches, robins, cardinals, chickadees, smaller woodpeckers) and some hawks circling above.
-
Nice sighting. Did the lady have 4 dogs? If so, I know the one, everyone avoids her, she's whacked. She sounds like she is scolding them but really isn't. Just one human who needs to learn to lower her voice BIG TIME.

yep, it was her.
and it wasn't hard to site. at one point, i thought the deer was going to come and sniff us. it was 20-30 ft away.
