Just over a week ago, I took a few days to wander through different parks and nature trails crisscrossing Toronto…and even with a warm spell melting the snow, I was surprised at how many local birds had already started to make their presence known locally.
-
- Dazzled by its own beauty, the swan feeds slowly
-
- One of a cluster of robins feasting on last autumn’s remains
-
- Emerald shimmers greet the day
-
- A sparrow finds refuge among the tangled branches
-
- A national symbol not too proud to beg
-
- A gull awaits the first sign of food or threat
-
- Securely out of reach, a female mallard rests
-
- A wary robin watches from the underbrush
-
- Deep-diving ducks do their best to elude the photographer
-
- A sparrow tries to fluff dry after a bath
-
- Balletic moves by a swan on a lake
-
- A chubby sparrow waits its turn at the creek
-
- Mallard drake dries its wings after a bath
-
- Grabbing a quick snack among the shrubs
