Sunning Cormorants

September 18, 2017
Wonderland Rd S Drainage Pond - Middlesex County

Part sun/cloud, warm, 25 degrees, wind 22km/S
I took a walk around the pond this morning to see what was there.  The Caspian Terns are gone.  I saw Ring-billed Gulls, lots of Double-crested Cormorants, Canada Geese, Mallard, Cooper's Hawk, Killdeer, Mourning Dove, Blue Jay, and Cardinal.
Monarch (1), Cabbage Whites (5)

Lots of goldenrod, etc around the pond


This Cooper's Hawk came flying in over the birds in the pond and caused quite a stir.
