A day out with Lee with lots of great sighting. but my favourite was Lee running around the tree throwing the fall leaves in the air. She wanted it called I won 649 imagine the freedom. I won all of $5.00 lol We went to many locations, Frenchman Bay, Oshawa Harbour, Rotary Park, Thickson Woods but the best bird sighting was at Tim Hortons drive through when a cooper hawk landed in the tree before us.
