May has Arrived!

Today was the first day of May and it was a great day to be out bird watching and otherwise enjoying the great spring weather.  I had work down in Essex today and managed to catch up with many 'First of Year' birds.  With the closure of almost all parks and open spaces, getting out to natural spots requires some creativity.  Below are some shots from this past week and today.

Chatham Woodland


Yellow-rumped Warbler

American Avocet


This bird was the star of the show for me today!  This beautiful Prothonotary Warbler put a smile on my face for the rest of the day after it flew to a perch within 8ft of me and started singing!  What a sight for winter weary eyes, it brought the very sun to the tip of my camera lens!

Willet - terrible shot, great birds!

Wilson's Phalarope
Have a great spring; get out and enjoy it safely.  Hopefully the parks will open soon!

    Wow on the Prothonotary! My favourite Ontario bird by far, and this one is a bit earlier than normal.
