Hi everyone,
Today at lunchtime, there was a Great Blue Heron on the ice of the wetland behind the Ontario Science Centre. It was stalking across the ice, and blending in very well with the dead cattail stalks and tree trunks.  Also seen was a large flock of robins, and several Red-winged blackbirds were heard in the distance.

Directions: Access to the wetland is from ET Seton park in the Don Valley system.  The park is south of Eglinton, just west of Don Mills Road, and parking lots are accessible from Eglinton or from Thorncliffe Pk .
