On Saturday, I saw a male Osprey performing a skydance routine in presence of a female. I have never seen one before. It lasted about 2-3 minutes and was fascinating to watch because of the loud and long courtship calls and interesting flight patterns. I also saw my first Common Loon and Blue-winged Teal at Colonel Sam Smith Park on Saturday. I visited Downsview Park Sunday morning. Among other regulars I saw three Northern Flicker - one was calling continuously, and twelve or so Caspian Terns sitting by the pond.
1. Osprey Skydance - I joined four aerial shots together to make this panoramic shot.
2. Common Loon - I didn't have to travel north to see one.
3. Horned Grebe
4. Northern Flicker
