This year, Bruce assigned us to the Arboretum, since another group had Clyde Woods.
It was lucky for us, as we came upon a very cooperative Red-tailed Hawk.
We also saw many American Robins and at least 300 European Starlings.
Our next stop was Hampton Park. But there was little there beyond a few American Goldfinches and Black-capped Chickadees.
Then it was off to Harvey's to meet Bruce and the other team members. Except Bruce never arrived. He was in hospital, having slipped on ice in Britannia and broken 3 ribs and punctured a lung. Yikes!
We talked to Chris Harris who lived near Frank Ryan Park, and offered to cover it for us. That left us only with Black Rapids to do. We got a smattering of waterfowl and about 20 Herring Gulls. This year we left before the American Crow invasion, but saw them coming on our way home.
