Yesterday on a walk through Rouge Park- at the beginning of the The Vista trail- I saw at least 4 E. Bluebirds (3 males, 1 female)
Other sightings on the trail included:
2 N. HARRIERS
1 RED TAILED HAWK
many ROBINS
a FEW KILLDEER
1 B. Kingfisher
1 E. Phoebe
But no sign of the pair of Pileated Woodpeckers reported to us as we walked in.

Also saw several Mourning Cloak Butterflies soaking up the sun.
A beautiful start to spring

Access to Rouge Park is via Meadowvale Rd  (N of tHE 401) in Scarborough, just before the Toronto Zoo Parking Lot, at the James Pearse House. The Vista trail starts at this point, heading south toward the lake.
