Osprey Surprise


Springbank Park - June 28, 2017
Sunny, 19 degrees
High of 26.

I went for a morning walk in Springbank.  I decided to walk toward Greenway Park under the Wonderland Rd bridge.  A lot of swallows are nesting under the bridge.  I found a nice weed/wildflower patch plus some milkweed plants along the river in Greenway. That would be a great place to check out in changing seasons. 
Birds I saw - Osprey, Barn Swallows, Bank Swallows, Mallard, Canada Geese, Red-winged Blackbird, Northern Flicker, Common Grackle, Yellow Warbler and American Goldfinch.

Looking for butterflies.  I saw a couple of Cabbage Whites.
