I went to Westminster Ponds to mainly look for insects. There were a few butterflies around. A nice warm day 25c and sunny, feeling like 31c. Birds I saw were House Wrens, Catbirds, Downy Woodpeckers, and Barn Swallows to name a few.

I decided to go to The Coves this morning. It was 21c and cloudy, I saw a nice variety of birds. Wood Ducks, Great Blue Herons (8), Catbirds, lots of Robins, American Goldfinches, House Wren, Carolina Wren, Indigo Bunting, Song Sparrows, Red-winged Blackbirds, House Finches, and Northern Cardinals.

I was watching this Great Blue Heron wading around for fish.

As it was moving around, the heron kept looking up to the trees. I thought I would look to see what the heron was seeing.
There was another heron up there. It looks like a young heron. Maybe the heron in the water was trying to entice the young heron down to the water.

I always love to see Indigo Buntings!

July 22, 2020 - Hyde Park, London, Ontario
A cloudy morning almost felt like rain. It was getting more humid throughout the morning. I saw swallows busy catching insects over the water - Barn Swallows, Tree Swallows and Northern Rough-winged Swallows. This time of the year one starts to see sandpipers as they fly back down south. There were lots of Killdeers, a Lesser Yellowlegs and a Least Sandpiper.

There was a lot of action in the woods and fields. A lot of juvenile Robins and Starlings around. I saw an Eastern Kingbird feeding its fledged young in a nearby tree. There were Cedar Waxwings, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Catbirds, Field and Song Sparrows, and a Willow Flycatcher,
