Excellent shots!

[christie]

great pics, where is the best place to see warblers in high park? I always walk aong the pond but haven't had much luck with sightings. thanks in advance.

Try near the Children's Garden north of Colborne Lodge (especially the tall trees behind the washrooms) and the evergreens down the hill (south-west) from the Grenadier Restaurant that border the north side of the rock-garden/dry waterfalls.

Good luck,

Iain

I didn't look at who made this post but as soon as I saw those pix...figured it had to be you...great shots...and I thank you for the scarlet tanager pic...the sc and the wood duck are 2 of my "must see" birds...and I have never seen good photos of either, until yours of course.

I have a sony digital camera -- "Cybershot" -- we bought it in 2002....3.2 megapixels...is there anything we can do to upgrade to get photos that approximate yours? Right now, I would have to be right beside the bird to get a decent shot.

Or should we just buy new? (I'm going to review your old pm to me to see if you recommended anything then.)
