The Grackles that arrived yesterday were a welcomed sign of spring. Today, there are Robbins everywhere. I've been hearing a Northern Cardinal over the past couple of weeks and he finally found my feeder and the ample supply of sunflower seeds within the last week and greets me at my office window at the beginning of each day.
The little Goldfinches are getting more yellow as each day passes, and are now accompanied by a gang of scrappy Pine Siskins, Redpolls, and a pair of Purple Finches. A pair of Downy Woodpeckers are still enjoying my homemade suit blocks and all is well in Pleasantview Park, until the Red Tailed Hawk cruises the neighbourhood. Pleasantview Park is at the north west corner of Hwy 35 and Penial Rd., north of the Municipal Airport. Cheers Judy Kennedy. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
