Lots of regulars:  Robin, House Finch, Cardinals singing everywhere,Goldfinchs,  Red Breasted nuthatchs, very few house sparrows lately, song sparrows, white throated sparrows moving north, mourning doves every morning, some crows,  starlings,  regular visits from the local peregrine falcon that nests on Markham Rd north of the 401, grackles, and a lot of red-winged blackbirds which seem out of place (they may just be feeding then leaving for better habitat).   Cheers

I had a beautiful Red Admiral butterfly in the backyard today!  Tried to get a picture but it flew off.  I understand they are migrating north in great numbers! Cheers Terry

Heard and saw my first Baltimore Oriole of the season this morning singing in Iroquois park near Finch and McCowan..  Beautiful bird!
