A lot of Mallards and Canada Geese are around with their babies.  The pictures of the goslings are at different areas in the city.




This bird below is a Whip-poor-Will.  I've seen them at Rondeau Park but this is my first one for Middlesex County.  They are nocturnal and by day, they rest in trees or the ground.  They camouflage nicely by the brown, grey and white colour and pattern.  The head is large with large eyes and a tiny beak.  They eat insects.
