Balmy Day in October

Hyde Park West Drainage Pond and Trail

It was nice to see the sun today as to all the gloomy days last week and weekend.  The weather is 26c, feels like 35...quite warm for this time of the year.  
I went for a walk at Hyde Park to see what I can find.  I'm still seeing butterflies which is really nice!  Cabbage Whites, Clouded Sulphurs and 2 Eastern Tailed-Blues.

There are still large flocks of Robins.  I also saw a Northern Flicker, Downy Woodpecker, Song Sparrow, American Goldfinch, Turkey Vulture, Common Grackles, Blue Jays, Red-winged Blackbird, Killdeer, Great Blue Heron, Mallard, and Ring-billed Gulls.
