Hi everyone.  I was walking around Maplewood Park this afternoon between 2-4pm.  Sighted the following:

Cooper's Hawk (female) - flew right across the front of my face then went to sit in nest at NW corner of woods.  1/2 hour later, she flew down to fallen log in the woods and was sunning her face and chest.  Then she turned around and was calling to the male - he was replying but I never did see him.  Squirrels were running right by the female!  

Downy Woodpecker x 1 (female)

Red-breasted Nuthatch x 1 (male)

Also sighted 3 Mourning Cloak butterflies.  

Maplewood Park:  East side of Glen Erin Dr., just North of Aquitaine Ave.
