Local Birdlife

I have noticed that, now that spring is here, I see a lot more birdlife when I venture outdoors.

The following photos were taken yesterday, at the park across from C.A.Paradis -- the kitchen-supplies shop on Bank Street that most LCB Ottawa students would have visited at some stage. (Aside: Bus No. 5 stops outside LCB Ottawa and also C.A. Paradis.)

I don't know all that much about birds, but I think the birds you see in the photos are pretty common in Australia and New Zealand. When I was taking the photos, I momentarily forgot I was in Canada. Then the black squirrel perched on the log in the middle of the first photo caught my eye ... :) (We don't see squirrels in Australia, that's for sure.)
