Hi,
Thought I'd kick-off my winter list with a stroll around Toronto Islands
today. Generally it was a bit quiet but there were one or two highlights.
The best bird was a Lincoln's Sparrow which played hide-and-seek amongst the
rocks on the shore side of the washrooms at Gibraltar Point. Also, there was
a Horned Grebe offshore from the pier. The feeder in the nature sanctuary
held a couple of White-throated Sparrows whilst the boardwalk heading
towards Wards hosted a Winter Wren and a pair of vocal Carolina Wrens. There
are huge numbers of Long-tailed Ducks everywhere, can't go anywhere without
hearing them!
Toronto Islands can be reached via the ferry at the foot of Bay Street.
Remember that you can only reach Hanlans via ferry on weekdays...
Cheers
Dave Beadle
