The Red-winged Blackbird was heard by me 
before I saw him.
The Redwinged Blackbird
and Mallard Duck were taken at Milliken Park
May 3, 2000

It sent me right back to my childhood when we lived on
Lawrence Ave. East in Scarborough

I remember loving the call of the Red-winged Blackbird.
We had a marsh near by.

It was nice that the Mallard posed long enough for Klaus to take his pic

He swam nicely for him 
as well.

Two little goslings.

Two little goslings boy are they well camouflaged.

Pair of Swans in Rouge Park at the end of Lawrence Ave E. 


Looking very regal but they need to clean their head feathers. I think It's the dirty water. 

Sorry to say this is the only new bird pic we have. 
He is a Wood Duck

 
We love to hear from you .
