After a very long hike, we found our owls last Sunday in Toronto! Thanks to VERY helpful birders and birding photographers on the Leslie Street Spit/Tommy Thompson Park we located our a first of two Saw-whet Owls.
Our first encounter though was that of an American Kestrel in good light. This little falcon was hunting and didn’t mind being photographed.
The first Saw-whet Owl photographed.
Hiking out further onto the Leslie Street Spit/Tommy Thompson Park we had found the Barred Owl (with the help of an other photographer, thanks!), a magnificent bird of prey!
