Thanks for the intel. I looked it up on satellite view. Resembles any other meandering waterway, such as the Petticoat Creek, the Rouge, or Highland Creek here out in the east (Scarborough / Pickering) but the Humber is clearly superior from a birding perspective for you to be able to see so many birds in only an hour of trailing. Out here the trail, or walkway near the river / creek tends to be busy with bicycles, joggers, dog walkers, etc so that even finding a subject means you better get a shot in the first few seconds after discovery otherwise someone will spook it in passing. At Colonel Danforth Park along Highland Creek there was some schmuck racing his motorized bike up and down the main drag. The small engine would scream at full throttle. Motorized vehicles are prohibited on the path but people do whatever they want. Trying to enjoy nature with that racket is near impossible. At Petticoat Creek there are tractors and lawn mowers constantly disturbing the peace. The side trails are infiltrated by joggers and dirt bikes racing along. It's a wonder I got any photos at all. Between the interruptions and a shutter that often refuses to trip I missed at least as much as I got.
