Hello everyone, a friend of mine was at the Frog Pond, 
Fleming Park, today at 3:30 pm and while on the board 
walk (SE coiner) noticed a pair of birds eating Canada holly 
fruit.This fellow is a pretty good birder and stood there 
watching for a while trying to ID them with the naked eye. 
He did get a photo, probably not good.
they were plump and big like R.dove or Blue jays, tail was 
dark/black with a bit of a v. Bill was short, pointed and to 
the naked eye looked yellow. The forehead and crown 
were brown and the breast was greyish. The wings had 
faint bars.
They kept feeding even thou walkers were passing by quite 
close.
Anyone have any ideas.. Heather Drope
