Title: Downsview Bird Id Challenge
Post by: Dinusaur on January 30, 2018, 08:15:13 PM
Well, it appears that Shortsighted has taken a well deserved vacation, as a result this site has quieted down a bit. In order to continue with the fun game that Shortsighted started I've decided to give it a go. Since Downsview Park is one of favorite birding hotspot I've decided to post some partial images of the birds that I photographed there last one year.

Challenge 1:
