Re: [Ontbirds] Brown Pelican over Thorncliffe Mall

2019-05-26 Thread Walter Fisher via ONTBIRDS
Hi OntBirders,

My apologies for the lack of info in my report.

The Pelican was observed by my nephew Daniel Fisher, a non-birder with lots of
experience seeing Brown Pelicans in Florida and Mexico, and his girlfriend.  At
roughly 11:00am the bird was seen flying in a southwest direction over
Thorncliffe Mall, which is in the Leaside / Thorncliffe Park area of Toronto.

beside the parking lot.  The bird was working from tree to tree along the right

Good birding,

[Ontbirds] Purple Finch - backyard, Toronto

2018-03-24 Thread Walter Fisher via ONTBIRDS
I'm thought I'd post this here due to the lack of reports of this species this
winter...

This morning at 9:40am a female Purple Finch appeared at my feeders while I was
observing 6 House Finches that were already there.  Although the feeders are
less than 2 metres from the kitchen window I quickly reached for my binoculars
to get an even better view and a positive ID of the bird.  Of course when I got
my camera the bird had flown.

Sorry thought that would go to Ont Birds not you. I've never sent an Ont Birds
email before. Could you forward that for me.
