Braeside On. Apr. 10 2023

Thanks all, we already observed a Carolina Wren earlier today and I kind of thought the Song sparrow might be pushing it for rarities.

Braeside On. Dec.8 2022 Crappy pic taken in bad light.

I thought so too, we saw the last one on Oct 3 2022

Braeside On. Nov. 26 2022 Orange beak, but there isn't much of an eye ring. Photo unfortunately was a sun shot, so what you see here is what you get. We were looking for a Fox Sparrow whose call was id'ed by Merlin when we saw this one. 3 Tree Sparrows were observed in the area.

I agree with your post, it was rather sloppy of me to misname that bird. Mea Culpa, especially for the Larus glaucoides.

Gulls often carry things in their feet. I once watched, while driving, a gull dove down into a ditch and carried off a mouse in its feet, I could see the beady, fearful eyes of the mouse as the gull swept up out of the ditch almost hitting my windshield. Ah! one of those classic bird-watching events.

Oct 26 2022 Braeside On.

Oct 14 2022 Braeside On. These 2 Red-tails were putting in a playful display. Both have the dark heads, extensive belly bands and streaks extending from neck down to belly. Some tan coloration is seen on the flanks leading me to think they may be Abieticolas.

Braeside On Sept29 22 I know its a bad pic, but??
