Birding at Bronte

Late in the day yesterday, we decided to make a trip over to the east side of Bronte Creek Provincial Park. Here's a list of our sightings:

Barn Swallows (and a nest they built over an outdoor restroom light)
Eastern Kingbirds
Blue Jays (including one on a nest- the first Blue Jay nest we've ever seen)
Song Sparrows
Great Crested Flycatchers
Swamp Sparrow- NEW TO OUR LIFE LIST! There was a pair of them and one had food in it's beak. We assume there was a nest nearby.





Am. Robins
Eastern Bluebirds
Orchard Orioles- a male and female pair. This was a first of the year sighting for us and the first female we have ever seen. We haven't had Orchard Orioles at the house in 2 years.



Pair of Hawks- likely Red-tailed
