April Fools Day!

Not sure if this Canada Goose knew it was April Fool's Day and was was trying to fool us into believing she was sitting on eggs. Perhaps she really was nesting but this old willow trunk in Canatara Park seems an odd location to be nesting!

The Easter Bunny made an early appearance this morning! 

An over-wintering Hermit Thrush feasted on Sumac berries this morning. Its nice to see at least one of them survived the winter!

We had a surprise when an early Yellow-rumped Warbler showed up at our backyard bird feeder yesterday on March 31st! They are generally the earliest species of warbler to return during spring migration. Since they will eat berries in addition to insects, they can survive in the cold Ontario spring weather.
