Post by: Blacksheep on June 09, 2013, 11:31:11 AM

My husband and I went to Humber Bay Park yesterday afternoon for the first time, what a great spot!

Here's some photos that I got. I'm a rookie birder, if I have any of the IDs wrong, please let me know?

Welcome to the forums!  Yes Humber Bay can be a pretty decent spot - lots of great ducks come winter, and sometimes a few good shorebirds later in the summer when the water in the lagoon is low and the mudflats are exposed.  Love the cute Hoodie babies!

Yeah Humber Bay has been very good to me in the Winter and very early Spring.  One of my favourite parks :)
