Title: Humber Bay Park West and East
Post by: ravynne40 on August 20, 2011, 08:03:09 PM

So after a small hiatus from birding, I finally found a little time today to run amuck in the park wheeee!
today's gifts were:

1 Great Blue Heron
3 White Egrets
2 young mergansers (not sure if they were redbreasted??)
lots of cormorants
lots of regular ducks/mallards and black
and butterflies!

Thanks! Its about time the Egrets and Herons showed up lmao! I was getting worried when I didn't see ANY of them earlier this year

Thanks Richard I believe hooded is spot on! I have a hard time ID'ing when they are babies.
