20c, rain and cloudy

It rained most of the morning and into the afternoon.  I went to Hyde Park Pond and Trail this afternoon rain or not.  My photos are terrible with the lighting and background sky.

I saw lots of Cabbage Whites, Clouded Sulphurs, 1 Eastern Tailed-Blue and 1 Monarch.

Flocks of Canada Geese were flying over.

This bird was so far away that I had to heavy crop the photo.  It's not very clear either and the lighting was bad. I don't know what I got here.

I'm thinking this is a Cooper's Hawk.  It was a good size.

There were lots of Robins (over 35).  At one point, a hawk was chasing them.

I got a photo of a robin and didn't realize there was a woodpecker there too!

I saw this little bird high in the tree with the Robins. Again, it's too dark to identify.
