The field south of the dog run yielded 6 sparrow species this morning just past 11:00 including a single LE CONTE'S that while too uncooperative for photos did pause long enough to show off its crown stripe. This field also produced an Eastern Meadowlark and Orange-crowned Warbler.
The NELSON'S SPARROW was in the small field with swallow boxes just north of the marina and was slightly more cooperative. Two more meadowlarks were also around but a Sharp-shinned Hawk is actively patrolling the area. Colonel Samuel Smith Park is at the base of Kipling Avenue and readily accessible by TTC with parking throughout. Good birding, Amanda Guercio _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
