The Most Worthless Thread on Canreef

[Beverly]

Well, I'd better make some of it up in this thread

Anybody birdwatching now that spring has sprung? We live in a high density neighbourhood just west of downtown just about a block north of Jasper Ave (main street). There's lots of traffic all around us, but we can still see and hear the birds

Spring always brings the crows - I love 'em, the gulls - they're so-so, and the robins - which aren't singing that much these days. The chickadees are around all year, and we saw a trio of them this evening. Looked like two males were trying to get lucky with a female. She was doing her best to stay ahead of them, and kept flying from branch to branch and from tree to tree. I guess rush hour isn't the best time for mating, even for chickadees.

Then there are the hares that are here all winter too, though of course, they aren't birds, but they're cool to see so close to downtown
