Ottawa Fine Feathered Friends

Started off great with two bluejays and a cardinal in one tree. Heard a raven!  (Second time, first being last weekend along the river in Orleans.)  Saw him/her flying afterward but from a distance through the trees.  Love ravens. Goldfinch!  In a tree in the open area.  My first sighting of the year. Yellow-bellied sapsucker!  A lifer!  Well, at least I'm pretty sure that's what it was.  Vibrant red over the head, much larger red area than on the downies/hairies and definitely wasn't a pileated, and the call was totally consistent with the one on my Audubon app. Also several garter snakes and a toad.

Decided to keep track of the birds I see during walks throughout the Ottawa region and wherever else I happen to go.
