Hi everyone. I was walking around Maplewood Park this afternoon between 12:45-1:45pm. Sighted the following:
Cardinal x 1 (male)
Chickadee x 1
Chipping Sparrow x 1
Cooper's Hawk - female sitting in nest (SE corner), got up and shifted around a couple of times, trying to get comfortable.
Crow x 1
Grackles x 8
Red-breasted Nuthatch x 1 (female). I could hear loud hammering but wasn't sighting the bird. All of a sudden, the female pops out of a hole in a dead tree trunk then goes back inside, continuing to hammer away.
Other sightings: Cabbage White butterfly, squirrels and lots of Trillium flowers.
Maplewood Park: East side of Glen Erin Dr., just North of Aquitaine Ave.
