American Coot, Northern Shovelers and others

[Darrell74]

Was in Humber Bay East Park today (Lakeshore & Park Lawn).

- Saw 1 Male American Coot
- Mating pair of Hooded Merganser
- Gadwals (males & females).
- Buffleheads (males & females)
- Mating pair of American Blackducks.
- 6 Double-crested Cormorants flying overhead
- 2 Male Killdeer
- 1 Male Dark-eyed Junco
- 1 Male Chickadee (did you know that they can hover??? I didn't hehe)

Need to take a notebook along with me now... so many species in one spot...

All in all, a GREAT day of birding

where did you find the killdeer?

The Killdeer landed about 50ft in front of me, on the open ground that lies between the still partially frozen pond and the waterway where the boat launches are.
