Hi everyone.  This morning, I was walking at Maplewood Park from 9:30-10:30am.  Sighted the following:

Cardinals x 2 (1m, 1f)
Chickadees - lots
House Sparrows - hundreds
Downy Woodpecker x 1 (female)
Pileated Woodpecker x 1 (female)
Red-breasted Nuthatches x 4 (1m, 3f)

Maplewood Park:  East side of Glen Erin Dr., just North of Aquitaine Ave.

Walked at Lake Aquitaine from 10:30-11:30an.  Sighted the following:

Blue Jays x 2
Cardinals x 6 (3m, 3f)
Chickadees - lots
Crows x 2
House Sparrows - dozens
Gulls - lots, mainly Ring-billed
Mallards - dozens
Canada Geese - lots

2 pregnant squirrels including one that followed me from the West end of lake all the way to the East end of lake.  Wow, she was extremely hungry!
