Hi everyone.
This afternoon between 12:45-2:00pm, I was walking around Lake Aquitaine. Sighted the following:
Crows x 3
Grackles x 6
gulls - 150+
House Finches x 7 (3m, 4f) - including 1 male *Orange Variant. Wow, so beautiful! :D
House Sparrows - lots
Mallards - lots
RWBB's (male) - lots
Robin x 1
*location: SE corner of lake, counter-clockwise along main paved trail, just past Exercise Machine #4, you'll be looking down a hill with lots of bramble, shrubs, etc. A favourite spot for Goldfinches and House Finches.
Lake Aquitaine: SE corner of Glen Erin Dr./Aquitaine Ave., behind the Meadowvale Community Centre.
Walked around Maplewood Park from 2-3pm and sighted the following:
Cooper's Hawks - female in nest, male perched nearby.
Crows x 8
GBH - heading North directly above Montevideo Rd., appeared about to land somewhere just North of Derry Road.
House Sparrows - lots
White-breasted Nuthatch x 1
Maplewood Park: East side of Glen Erin Dr., just North of Aquitaine Ave.
