Red-tailed Hawk! At Bloor & Christie

While I was looking at it two separate groups of children with parents also stopped to admire the hawk.

The squirrels were being very impertinent.

Is it snowing? Raining? Snaining? Whatever it is, the dark-eyed juncos are happy to be out in it and have arrived for an evening snack.

And yes, the dark-eyed juncos are loving this. Ms. Cardinal also just dropped by to arch a bright red eyebrow at me as she peered through the window.

Winter ducks from this afternoon!

Much of the lake this side of the breakwater is frozen, so there weren't many spots to see ducks. Still, there were mergansers and goldeneyes (I think) as well as the ever-present mallards and swans. The view was beautiful in a cold austere way.

woke up to cardinal's PEWWW, PEWWW, PEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEW "star wars space battle" call

Saw some hawk flapping around and heard a totally new bird call which Merlin identified as a Cooper's hawk? At first I assumed it was the call of a red-tailed hawk because, well, they're the only hawks I've ever seen around here, but it was neither MAJESTIC BALD EAGLE CRY or Clinically Depressed Seagull. It was more...mewing? Alas I forgot to save the recording. The bird was apparently right over my building so I couldn't actually see it, just hear it.

Heard MAJESTIC BALD EAGLE cry 🇺🇸 and ran to the window to catch a very low *triple* red-tailed hawk flyby!

Needless to say, the dark-eyed juncos are having the time of their lives today

- 20-30 cm snowfall forecast, has been snowing heavily all night, schools closed
- one (1) photon from the Sun hits the building
- I hear the gentle *bonk* of an impatient dark-eyed junco pecking at the windowsill
