Greetings! Yesterday was a nice day to bird. We saw several Eastern Phoebes playing in the fields. Along with a Hermit Thrush and Ruby Crowned Kinglets.
Later in the day towards the western bay we saw about 6 American Wigeons close to shore along with a raft of Scaup and a single Herring Gull. Out in the southern bay there were three loons: a mother (I guess) and two younger ones. Sparrows: White-crowned, Song, and White-throated were in and amongst the shrubs. Cheers, Bernie http://www.flickr.com/photos/berniemonette Colonel Sam Smith park is at the base of Kipling Ave., south of Lakeshore Blvd in South Etobicoke. Along the QEW/Gardiner exit at Kipling and go south. Parking is at the very end. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
