Please Excuse my spelling ,I am Dyslexic
thank you for your understanding.
All thought we have Red wing black birds every wear in the Toronto area
the rely fun Bird in the last 48 hours have bine the Tundra Swans!
Starting yesterday from our home hear on Quebec Av. in Toronto, Bev and
I counted 1 flock of 49 fly over at 11:30 am .( Yes another new yard
bird )
But this morning from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm along the lake front starting
at Colonel Sam Smith Park (found at the foot of Kipling Ave. at the Lake
Shore Blvd.) then stopping in to Humber Bay Park ( found at the foot of
Park Lawn rd. and Lake shore Blvd . ) and ending at the Leslie st spit
( found at the foot of Leslie st south of Lake shore Blvd.) I counted
364 Tundra Swans in flocks ranging in size of 92 to 13!
Watching them fly across the sky was just a true felling of spring! (Ops
that means moor snow) .
At Col. Sam Smith Park I also found 1 Common Grackle, 2 Rusty Blackbirds
and 5 Brown-Headed Cowbirds.
At Humber bay their wear 33 Mute swans , a high flying flock of Canada
Geese with 3 white Snow Geese one was vary small it might have bine a
Ross ?? but I could not say for sheer and a hunting Peregrine Falcon .
and on the bass of the Leslie st spit along with the 47 tundra swans
wear 2 Hood mergansers , 1 wood duck and a Juv. Glaucous Gull .
I had know luck finding my target bird for the day a Killdeer??!! but
still a copal of days left in the winter for that
