TV in Willowdale

[Leslie Kinrys]

Last night, at 6:30 pm, a Turkey Vulture swooped over our neighbourhood (Bathurst/Sheppard area). That was a nice surprise, so early in the season.

Today, the Robins were plentiful. Their "tutting" even drowned out the Cardinals' whistling. There were Grackles overhead, and I noticed the Goldfinches have started to moult.

I've been seeing a Pileated Woodpecker flying around this area, too. Last week, our daughter saw it banging on one of the trees in Ellerslie Park. She was amazed to see such a large woodpecker.

Hey

leslie I spotted one out here in Milton just as I was getting home at 4:20 pm today

I also  had the privilege of watching a "Northern Mocking bird" today for about 15 minutes (lunchtime), wing flashing and all

Downsview park near the baseball diamonds above the train tracks...

"Killdeer" are everywhere as well

Hi Napper,

I like visiting the Mockers at Downsview Park, too. I go to Carl Hall Rd, where it crosses the train tracks. Last summer, I listened to a male go through his his whole repertoire.
