Maplewood Park

[Bird Brain]

Hi everyone.  I was wandering around Maplewood Park this morning from 9:45-10:45am and sighted the following:

Blue Jays x 2
Cardinals x 5 (males)
Chickadees x 2
Chipping Sparrows x 2
House Sparrows - lots
Red-winged Blackbirds x 2 (males)
Robins x 4

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

No Coopers hawks?

Hi ostrich.  Sadly, no.  Haven't seen them for awhile and never saw the male and female at same time, no mating or nesting, no babies.  Bummer!

appears to be the same story and outcome for the pair that used to nest at Riverwood the last two-three years

I wonder what happened this year?  :?

I have seen one Cooper's at Riverwood. They are probably nesting somewhere, just not using the same nest. There are Sharp-shinneds nesting in Erindale Park somewhere, I haven't found the nest.

That's too bad - if is possible they moved to another area although Maplewood has so many good trees it would be surprising if they moved far.  My local Coopers have at least 2 chicks that I've been able to see so far.
