Shell Park, Oakville, Ontario
They are not a common sight around our area. Though I have seen and photographed one in Ontario in 2016, when this opportunity presented itself not too far from where I live I headed out to try my luck and better the previous photo I took. On arrival I immediately saw a group of birders, all looking up in the canopy. It was spotted soon afterwards and half an hour later it came down to forage on a tree almost at the eye level when this photo was taken. It was still a challenge because of its constant movement and leaves on trees. As a bonus I also got to see a Northern Parula which wasn't as rare but certainly a bit late in its migration schedule. Bronte Bluffs Park, Oakville, Ontario.
At the mouth of 16 Mile Creek, sits Oakville Harbour. It has come a long way from being an industrial port of the 1800's. Panoramic shot taken from the new lookout platform at Tannery Park.
My first job as a Bartender was at The Oakville Club, in a town just west of Toronto along Lake Ontario. It was a great big place with squash, badminton, tennis, swimming pool, docks for boats, a lower bar, dining room, wedding facilities, and 37 doors and window to lock up at the end of the night.
I drove by it this week, the place still looks great.

We finally got a decent amount of winter here in Southern Ontario. So I have been taking all the chances I can to get out and photograph in the snow!
