Title: High Park and Humber Bay
Post by: Niloc on April 27, 2010, 05:13:17 PM

High park has many Wood Ducks I counted 6 males and 1 female, also came accross a new one for me a Blue-winged Teal this is a beautiful little duck but he would not swim out to the lighted water so it was hard to photograph him...headed to Humber Bay, too cold and windy I did see soem nice Barn Swallows...

Nice shots Colin ..  the Barn swallows at Humber East seem to like to pose for us! The Tree Swallows also pose nicely by the nest boxes .. though not for long.  
 You were lucky to get the Blue-winged Teal at High Park. There was one at Humber East a couple of weeks ago in the pond by the gazebo/rest rooms building.
