This morning Ian Cannell and I birded part of Ward’s Island on the Toronto Islands and following are some of the birds we found though we did not get the fall out we hoped for.
We first heard and then observed a pair of Fish Crows for 10 plus minutes ( one of the birds did his ca-ha call continuously ) on Ward’s just east of the Sunshine Seniors Centre and of course these became our birds of the day. Other birds we found in our shortened visit were Common Loons, Great Egret, a pair of Cooper’s Hawks, Woodcock, Carolina, House and Winter Wrens, both Kinglets, Hermit and Wood Thrushes, Gray Catbirds, Brown Thrashers, Blue-headed and Warbling Vireos, Palm Warblers, Yellow Warblers, Chipping, Field, Swamp and White-crowned Sparrows and Baltimore Orioles. A few other birds were seen by three other birders – Great Crested Flycatchers, Veery, Swainson’s Thrush, Orange-crowned, Nashville, Magnolia, Black-throated Blue and Black-and-White Warblers and Eastern Towhee.
