Week of September 3, 2023
I went to a few places....a pond out Wonderland Rd. South, Hyde Park and Uplands Wetland. I'm not getting many shorebirds...hopefully this week. Not many butterflies were seen. The trees are starting to turn slightly.
At the pond south of Wonderland Rd, Double-crested Cormorants were swimming around, Greater Yellowlegs, Spotted Sandpiper, Great Blue Heron, Green Heron, Belted Kingfisher, Cedar Waxwings, American Goldfinches, Song Sparrows and Black-capped Chickadees. I did see one Monarch.

I popped into Springbank Park one morning and found a female Common Merganser on the rocks. Also saw a few Yellow-rumped Warblers.

At Upland Wetlands, there was a Great Egret and two Great Blue Herons. The only shorebirds I've seen there recently are Killdeers. The water level is high. Other birds I saw were Belted Kingfisher, lots of Cedar Waxwings, Song Sparrows, American Goldfinches, House Finches, Common Yellowthroat, Mourning Doves, Mallards and Canada Geese. I have seen more Turkey Vultures flying over lately.
