While driving north on the DVP around 2:15 today, somewhere between Bloor and Don Mills exits, we saw two herons - a little hard to identify given that we were driving and they were high overhead, and too small to be Great Blues so most likely BC Night Herons (which occasionally winter over on the Don River).
Then, after my son's hockey game at Canlan Ice Sports - Scarborough Arena, as I was walking around the NW corner of the building back to the car, a flock of White Winged Crossbills flew into the coniferous trees. Arena location: Passmore Ave. and Markham Rd. (just N. of Finch). (As an aside, our team won. Sure glad I went in spite of a sore back).
