Golden crowned Kinglets flashed the yellow crown and gave it away instantly. I found 3 or 4 of these Golden crowned Kinglets busy at work and got off a few shots. These birds are very small, VERY active and never seem to stop moving as they flutter about in the trees. Not a very shy bird, so approaching them is not too difficult, but getting them to sit still for a second for a photograph is another story!
I had a chance to photograph cormorants, geese, bufflehead ducks, hawks, doves and one brilliantly coloured white-throated sparrow at Bluffers Park today, I also watched two American kestrels, swans and of course the local mallards.
A tip from a friend sent me on an excursion to Toronto’s Edwards Gardens to find and hopefully photograph a local sharp shinned hawk. Finding it was tough, but trying to get a good photo was even tougher. Filtered light through the pine trees made it very difficult to get a good shot.
Not an easy bird to photograph, not for me anyway! I did get a few photos of this little guy foraging in Rosetta McClain Gardens in Toronto/Scarborough today. These birds are small and do not stop moving for one second! Typically they start foraging at the bottom of a tree and work there way up.
