Humber Bay Park East - Tuesday, March 13th

[Bird Brain]

Hi everyone.  Today from 9:30 - 11:50am, Bob (rcflier) and I walked around Humber Bay Park East.  Sighted the following:

Buffleheads
Canada Geese
Cardinals
Chickadees
Gadwalls
Grackles
Hooded Merganser x 1 (female) - swimming and munching on a small fish.
House Sparrows - including females cleaning out nesting boxes.
Long-tailed Ducks
Mallards
Mockingbirds x 2
Mourning Doves x 2

Mute Swans -   including one with a hook & fish lure caught at bottom of his (or her) webbed foot.   This swan was hissing at a small dog (apparently dog is elderly, blind and deaf).  

Red-breasted Mergansers - hilarious mating behaviour with males lifting up out of water, stretching their necks out then craning them backwards!  

Red-winged Blackbirds (males)
Ring-billed Gulls
Starling x 1
Tundra (?) swans - a "wedge" of 28 flying by honking, heading West.  

No visit to Humber Bay Park is complete without a visit across the street to Mr. Christie Bakery Outlet store!
