Title: Lake Aquitaine - Sunday, May 1st
Post by: Bird Brain on May 01, 2011, 03:57:39 PM
Hi everyone.  I was walking around Lake Aquitaine this afternoon between 1:30-3:00pm.  Sighted the following:

Blue Jay x 1
Canada Goose x 1 (male)
Goldfinches x 2 (1m, 1f)
Grackles - lots
House Sparrows - lots
Mallards x 8 (4m, 4f)

RWBB's - lots of males and females.  One male was walking towards me along the top of a wooden barrier, all puffed out, trying to make himself look huge & scary and trilling up a storm!  It seems that I wasn't cracking open a shelled peanut fast enough for him!  :lol:

Robins x 6 - including one female in nest

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