birds of spring...
I went walking at one of Toronto's finest waterfront parks this afternoon. Colonel Sam Smith Park in Etobicoke is a favourite with bird watchers and for the past few years I've enjoyed trying to spot new (to me) birds whenever I visit. Luck was with me today! I found a large group of long-tailed ducks in a sheltered bay. Most of them were too far away for a decent photo but this guy came close enough for a quick snap. Isn't he lovely? One for my life list.

Thanks for the Spring walk Cheryl Just beautiful. We continue colder than usual with little sun so our cherry blossoms may not come out until May this year.
Did I say "spring"? Would you believe, one day later, it's snowing again in Toronto? Ugh. Thanks for visiting, Susan. May seems like a long time to wait for cherry blossoms. Wishing you sunny days, soonest!
Beautiful pictures! And a lovely reminder of spring, especially on a snowy Friday in Guelph. :)
Nice post and photos! As a birder myself, I really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed the photos! Thanks so much for stopping by.
