Title: Lake Aquitaine - Sun. Jan. 23rd
Post by: Bird Brain on January 23, 2011, 03:03:59 PM
Hi everyone.  I was walking around Lake Aquitaine this afternoon between 12:45-1:45pm.  Always an interesting experience out birding in -33c windchill temperature, one's eyelashes are freezing and wiping away mini pieces of ice.  Sighted the following:

Blue Jays x 2
Cardinals x 2 (1m, 1f)
Chickadees x 4
Juncos x 2
Mallards x 50
Mockingbird x 1
Mourning Doves x 6
Pigeons x 8
Purple Finch (male) x 1 - a pleasant surprise as I haven't seen one of these beauties for ages!

Lake Aquitaine:  SE corner of Glen Erin Dr./Aquitaine Ave., behind the Meadowvale Community Centre.
