Spring has really arrived bird-wise as Humber Bay was filled with the raucous ok-ka-lay calls of Red-winged Blackbirds.

In addition, many of the ducks we see mostly in winter are still here. Here are the 13 species that I was able to photograph:

NATURE POETRY

Deep down within the frozen brook
I hear a murmur faint and sweet, And lo!
The ice breaks as I look,
And living waters touch my feet.               – Jane Goodwin Austin (1831–94)

Miles Hearn
