Last Sunday I was in Toronto and I was birding in High Park, Sam Smith Park, and Shell Park (Oakville).

High Park was very bad.

Robins
Cardinals
Wood Ducks

Reason: The people I was with would not go in to the forest.

Sam Smith Park:
1 Northern Mocking Bird
Lots of Swallows
Swans
Gulls
1 Unknown Heron (Flying)
1 Eastern Kingbird


Shell Park:
3 Unknown Warblers
2 Cardinals M/F
2 American Goldfinches
1 Rabbit
1 Unknown Bird (Post in Bird ID)

Overall the day could have been better.

I would like to personally thank Jo-Anne (Bird Brain), KPaw, Pat Hodgson, and Niloc for taking their time to give me directions, information and everything I needed to go to High Park and Sam Smith Park. Without them I probably wouldn't of been able to go.

Thank you!


Cody

No problemo, Cody.  You're Welcome!  :)

Why did they not want to go into the forest?

I was wondering the same thing - why did your group not wish to go into the forest?

At any rate, High Park is a great place and I hope you give it another try another time!

All the best!

I wasn't able to get in to the forest because one of the people with me had a very bad leg and couldn't walk much farther. In the fall or next spring I will be back to High Park!

High Park is a truly beautiful and magical place that I've been visiting since I was a baby!  :D  Hopefully your next visit there will be better.
