Coyote, Swallows, Red-Necked Grebes and More May 24, 2010

Tree Swallow

Today Peter and I went for a drive to Col Sam Smith hoping to see (but no luck) whimbrels. To start our day I met Peter at the Cemetery and we saw a skinny female coyote who had kits somewhere nearby. We proceeded to Sam Smith and saw Red-Necked Grebe pair, flycatchers, swallows, and a nice snapping turtle. Next stop was Humber Bay and we saw cormorants, jumping fish and lots of yellow warblers. Traffic was already bad by then so we went home. Saw a few more birds on the way.Great day thanks Peter

Fox - Female on the fence May 22 2010

The fox was very nervous today - calling out to the kits below and jumping over the fence and running around the park. Went to a web site and the call appears to be a territorial call.

Female Fox on the Bluffs May 21, 2010

The female was busy hunting for the little foxes and a couple of nice shots of her on the bluffs. Luckily Trudy spotted her there. Thanks.

Swans Dancing May 17 2010

If you have never watched swan dancing and mating on the water go to the park. It is so funny and look at the expressions on their face.
