Title: Lake Aquitaine - Mon. Feb. 13th
Post by: Bird Brain on February 13, 2012, 02:35:38 PM
Hi everyone.  I was walking around Lake Aquitaine this afternoon between 12:15-1:45pm.  Sighted the following:

Blue Jays x 3
Cardinals x 14
Chickadees x 3

Crows x 2 ... one perched on tree branch, cawing up a storm - the other below on grass pigging out on 1/2 shelled peanuts

Goldfinches x 4
House Sparrows - dozens

Mockingbird x 1 ... Yippee, got a really great and long look at him today!- then he flew & landed by my toes, looked up as if to say "So, where's my food?!" - tossed him some 1/2 shelled peanuts and then he was happy.   :D

Mourning Doves x 3 - 2 large, 1 small.  I'm wondering if this is a mom, dad and youngster?

Sighted my favourite squirrel, "White Nose" along with lots of others.

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