This Valentine's morn brought some good sightings along Hall's Rd.--30 Snow Buntings flew over my car to land in a field to the immediate east of Hall's Rd., 0.5km. south of Victoria St. I stopped the car to examine them--I could NOT detect a Horned Lark among them. In the vicinity of the entry to the north walkway was a singing, "beautifully" coloured Rusty Blackbird, and near the platform--2 Red-winged Blackbirds, 2 Song Sparrows, 1 Swamp Sparrow and several Am.Robins.
On the lakefront from the foot of Hall's Rd.- hundreds of Scaup spp., several Redheads. Seen from the west side of the Brock St. S. bridge in Whitby--12 TRUMPETER SWANS--7 being immatures; I could see wing-tags on 3 of the adults. To the east of the bridge--2 adult male Wood Ducks. In the flatlands at Sobey's Pond--3 adult Red-tailed Hawks, 1 Northern Harrier. A Coyote had been spotted there yesterday. An adult BALD EAGLE has been seen several times over the past 10 days--along the waterfront between Whitby Harbour and Hall's Rd. Below the parking lot at Second Marsh in Oshawa 1 or 2 PILEATED WOODPECKERS have been spotted lately.

There may have been 2, it was hard to see as it (they) appeared over the Best Western hotel and circled over the intersection and disappeared just as quickly. It (they) may have been red-tailed hawk(s), not 100% certain. I took some photos, but they are not determinate. Seen by Bill Barber, Toronto 416-489-2384 Jarvis Street is 3 blocks east of Yonge St. Carlton Street is south of Bloor St. and north of Dundas St. Jarvis and Carlton is the northwest corner of Allan Gardens.
