There is a Eastern Meadowlark at the Powerade Center on Kennedy Road in Brampton this morning. It is on the Rugby pitches at the north west side of the property.
A first for Brampton for me.

Managed to briefly see the Eastern Meadowlark just now near the Powerade Centre Rugby pitches.
Great catch Roy! Brampton birders unite!
It showed briefly at the edge of the parking lot beside the large blue container before flying into the dead brush in the field behind the container. Will add a few quick shots I scored to eBird later today.
Also, six Killdeer scattered around acting like Killdeer and a large hawk of some sort circling and supervising.
Earlier, a dozen Double Crested Cormorants in the pond near Trinity Commons (Bovaird & Great Lakes Drive).
Great sunshine and fantastic birding!
