[Ontbirds] Bohemians and Cedars -Toronto - Leslie and Lawrence Update

[Donald Davis]

I dropped in on this location yesterday (March 31st).
I parked in a very small parking lot to the west of
the condo exiting off of Lawrence Ave and directly
facing the flowering crab trees. It was a quiet time
of the day (2:30 pm), and I am always respectful and
discreet when entering private property.

Initially there were just a few birds - clearly they
had been disturbed by someone shortly before I
arrived. My car acted as a blind, and gradually, there
were at least a dozen robins feeding, with a mourning
dove also sitting in the tree and cardinals and
red-winged blackbirds singing in the area. After about
5 minutes, a flock of about 30 - 35 waxwings flew in
together, with a few Bohemian waxwings. They were
disturbed after 5 minutes of viewing and all birds
except one apparently very hungry cedar waxwing flew
off.
