I was up early this morning to meet up with Miles Hearne’s 8:00 Saturday walking group. This park along the Humber River is really “springing” to life right now, and there were loads of birds along the river and into the woods.

For every bird I photographed this morning, there were several I missed. The morning air was filled with bird song.

We saw a few kildeer on a sandbar in the river.

We found a spruce hosting several golden-crowned kinglets. These tiny birds are challenging to photograph both because they can quickly get lost in branches and also because they seem to never stop moving.

Lambton Woods is one of the best places to find skunk cabbage. Today we saw it in just about every wet area in the woods.
