That's awesome John!  I better get my gear together and visit there soon; unless they've passed through already.

I stopped in one day after work last week...  November 1st or 2nd.  I saw a Merlin deep in the woods and 2 Red Bellied Woodpeckers...  one was at a nest, atop a Birch Tree.  I didn't know it was a nest until after I looked at the shots on the computer.

I also have noticed some kind of Heron 3 days over the last week.  As I cross the bridge over the Humber, driving south on Scarlet Road.  He's been sitting on a rock just west of the bridge in the middle of the river.  So, the one day I decide to go look for him with camera in hand...  no sighting.  The next day, cross the bridge and there he is.  But, I don't feel like doing a U-turn and get to the parking lot, then do the walk to where he hopefully still remains.  I saw him again on Saturday but once again, crossing the bridge and heading home...  no time for park ventures.
