Subject: RE: BS: Backyard Birds 2018
Cardinals, lots of them, all whistling their little red heads off.
Blue jays, driving the cats mad.
House sparrows, aka LBJs -- little brown jobs.
Chickadees in profusion.
American robins, also in profusion.
A Cooper's Hawk checking out the customers at the bird table next door.
Starlings all over the place
A grackle being run off by a pair of robins
Somewhere in the neighbourhood, a woodpecker at work.
Too many Canada geese.
Mallard families all over the river and its banks.
The municipal swans, who perform complex feather maintenance on the river bank in the evening before stepping up onto the footpath for a resounding shit.
And the ever-present crows, especially on garbage day.
