I stopped by at Oakbank pond (north side of Center Street between Yonge and Bathurst) and I met a photographer who told me I could find egrets near Bayview and Elgin Mills but of course I forgot to find out their exact location! Has anyone seen them near that intersection? I'll be picking up some plumbing supplies on Elgin Mills so finding the egrets would be a real bonus! I wonder if he was referring to Richmond Green which is actually at Elgin Mills and Leslie?

Incidentally, he was shooting with a 500mm lens and he showed me a great shot of an osprey taken about two minutes before I arrived. We got some good shots of the resident GBH but, unfortunately, the osprey did not return before I left.

Egret ... my stepdad lives just up the street from Mill Pond.  Have walked there many times - a beautiful location.

Hi Joanne:

It is a lovely spot
they used to have Swans there
:(( though something happened to a pair of them
once

Over the years, it has changed
like all places

Love some of the old homes

Egret :)
