At least one Fish Crow was seen and heard here today. I was scoping the marsh
from the knoll walk when I noticed two crows feeding on a raccoon carcass with
a Turkey Vulture on the mudflat in the middle of the marsh (but close to the
creek opening into the lake). Within a couple of minutes, a Fish Crow
(vocalizing) flew by me over Sheridan Creek and about 15 m away landing with
other two crows, then follow closely behind two more crows which also joined
the feeding frenzy. There was quite a wind blowing off the lake so I could not
get any kind of positive ID on the other 4 crows but size-wise looked very
similar ... though I was quite a distance away. They all disappeared from the
carcass after maybe 10 minutes and I have no idea which direction they went.
Directions:
The closest access to marsh is from the south end of Bexhill Road which runs
south off Lakeshore Boulevard between Southdown Road and Mississauga Road
(though much closer to Southdown Road). Park on the street and walk down the
hill and the marsh is right there.
