Toronto - 24.8.13

My first ever Black Squirrel

 

As part of the bus tour ticket we had bought we had a voucher for a free boat ride around the harbour islands. We set off and found out that the woman giving the guided talk was from Newcastle even though her accent was a mix of Canadian, Welsh and Geordie and every other sentence was finished off with a porn like Yeahhh! On and around the islands were at least 500 Ring-Billed Gulls with quite a few Double-Crested Cormorants sat at the end of the little airstrip. An adult Eastern Kingbird flew by and out of view but the best bird was a male BELTED KINGFISHER that flew up into the top of a dead tree and showed well.
