Nice day at Professors Lake ( Brampton ) today.

Northern Mockingbird

2 pair of Pied-billed Grebe

2 Downy Woodpeckers

American Coot

And a "ton" of hungry sparrows

Plus all the typical geese, mallards, gulls, chickadees and Blue Jays.

Nice pics. I saw the Ross's Goose there earlier this year.

tnx re the pics. Yes, I heard about the Ross's Goose in the late winter, but didn't find him. Time to start a regular visit now to Professors Lake.

Does the lake freeze in winter?
