Great day for me today. Filled my CF card!
Lambton Woods - pileated, red-bellied woodpecker, downies, hairies, brown creeper, white-breasted nuthatch, pair of cardinals, blue jay, sparrows galore (I have never heard so much knocking on wood!) and lots of friendly dog-walkers!
Col. Sam Smith - american coot, male & female buffleheads, scaup, male red-breasted merganser, female common merganser, male & female goldeneye, longtails, male gadwall and lots of mallards. The popular Kestrel was flying about, but I couldn't get too close. I continued on my walk quite a distance from first seeing him and he started hunting and brought lunch back right in front of me. I've never had such a good look at a Kestrel. I have said here before that I don't really like those "full meal deal" shots, but I must admit it was fascinating. Not for lack of trying, I did not see a Snowy.
High Park - the light was touchy all day and it was getting late when I got to High Park, so only went looking for the Wood Duck and second time lucky - found him this time along with a Northern Pintail - both beautiful ducks.
