2 AMAZING Yard Birdz! Plus Warblers! (Finally)

So thursday evening, I had a Fantastic walk in our woods. shortly after I got in there, I looked up and saw flying low over the leaves, a Common Raven(#186)!! I was obviously a Raven, first off it was huge! Second it was being mobbed by Am. Crows, so size and shape was apparent, and third, it called for me! So that was quite an excitement!! Then in the morning(friday), as I was getting on the bus for school, a interesting flycatcher flew over my yard heading NNW. What type of flycatcher you may ask? Well, still not 100% sure, about 80% sure it was a Western Kingbird!! Not sure it wasn't a Cassin's though.. Still a FANTASTIC bird!! And Very Very Exciting!!

Saturday, was birding for most of the day, and visited Dow Wetlands, Canatara, Wawanosh Wetlands, Bright's Grove Sewage Lagoons, and Forest Sewage Lagoons.
