A better view is desired so I will be back first thing tomorrow. For a
period of 10-15 minutes at dusk we (about 10 of including the finder Don
Graham) followed the tiny Dove that D G saw well earlier.???? I saw a very
small dove but was only able to pick out a small but stocky bird with?? a
dark stubby tail with white outer tail feathers that flew towards and
past me as close as 30 feet. I saw a brutally unfocused photo of the
bird.?? I need more.
The bird was seen along the lakeside berm immediately east of the ring
road south east of the chain link equipment storage fence between cells
2 and 3 in Tommy Thompson Park,?? Toronto.
You will need to walk about 30 minutes from parking at the foot of
Leslie St and Unwin Dr.?? The entrance to the park is under construction
but they opened a new gate off Unwin. Walk the main road 20 minutes
until you get to the first left turn.?? Turn left and keep walking
another 10 minutes then start praying.???? I think I will now deal with
ticks.....
