Yesterday Friday the 29th Bob Tyler and birded the Toronto Islands and we came up with 49 species.
Pied-billed and Horned Grebes, 10 D-c Cormorants overhead, Trumpeter Swans, Wood Ducks, American Wigeons, Canvasbacks, Redheads, Ring-necked Ducks, all 3 Mergansers, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Common Ravens, Northern Mockingbird harassing Robins and Red-winged Blackbirds, an amazing 34 Cardinals, (probably some overlap with birds flying back and forth from Algonquin Island to Wards Island), 102 Song Sparrows, White-throated Sparrows but only 1 Raptor a Cooper’s Hawk which is a permanent resident down there. It’s possible that better weather is coming some day and birds should start arriving in good numbers, possible I say.
