Backyard Birding and Beryl Gaffney Park

Sep 21, 2015

We were amused to see a young American Robin using our pond stream as a bird bath.  Then we noticed a little skulking sparrow, a white-throat.

 In the afternoon, we went for a hike along the Rideau River from the Jock River south to Beryl Gaffney Park and back.  Along the trail there was little except Song Sparrows.  But at Beryl Gaffney, there was a little pocket of warblers, notably Yellow-rumps and a beautiful Pine Warbler.
