Stepped out for a bit before dark and was rewarded with the following:

Indigo Bunting
Caspian Terns
Common Terns
Green Heron
Herring Gulls
Flickers
Assorted Warblers

All of these were located on the Western side of the park and some pictures of the terns and flicker are posted in the photos section.

Hi all,

I'm guessing you were down below at Bluffer's Park today Attila, great to see that you found an Indigo Bunting and Green Heron there.

I birded my usual spot Rosetta McClain Gardens and then went to Scarborough Bluffs Park after that (RMG and SBP are on top of the Bluffs in Scarborough for anyone who is unaware.)  The following is a complete list of bird species that I found between the two parks:

Canada Goose, Mute Swan, Mallard, Long-tailed Duck, Common Merganser, Red-breasted Merganser, Common Loon, Horned Grebe, Red-necked Grebe, Double-crested Cormorant, Turkey Vulture, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper's Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, American Kestrel, Killdeer, Ring-billed Gull, Rock Pigeon, Mourning Dove, Belted Kingfisher, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Downy Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker, Northern Flicker, Pileated Woodpecker, Blue Jay, American Crow, Bank Swallow, Barn Swallow, Black-capped Chickadee, Red-breasted Nuthatch, White-breasted Nuthatch, Brown Creeper, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Hermit Thrush, Wood Thrush, American Robin, Brown Thrasher, European Starling, Nashville Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Pine Warbler, Palm Warbler, Chipping Sparrow, Field Sparrow, Song Sparrow, White-throated Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco, Northern Cardinal, Red-winged Blackbird, Common Grackle, Brown-headed Cowbird, Baltimore Oriole, House Finch, Pine Siskin, American Goldfinch, and House Sparrow.
