Hello,

Interesting day at Downsview Park, the highlight was seeing a male Bobolink on top of the mound.  Here is a link to everything that I saw, http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S14049851.

Hey man thanks for the tip.  I saw most of the birds you saw including the Bobolink and Savannah Sparrow.  I think I also saw the Cliff Swallow...will have to check my pics to confirm.  Will post some photos later.

Saw more Bobolinks today (about 7 or 8) and 3 Yellowlegs (lesser I believe) at the pond.  Also Spotted Sandpipers and Killdeer.  Plenty of Savannah Sparrows as well.  Definitely worth a visit.

I have been seeing what I suspected was spotted sandpipers quite a bit, I haven't been able to stop and confirm,thanks for the help.   Cliff swallows would be a new one for me, I usually only see tree and barn swallows but now I will keep my eye out for cliff as well.   The question I have is where are they nesting, exciting!   There has also been some flickers nesting in some tree cavities, pretty cool.

Just an fyi I double checked my pics and I was unable to confirm Cliff Swallow...I have some blurry pics that could be Cliff but it is not definitive.  Sorry for the false alarm.
