Bird watching on the north shore of Lake Ontario
It was a cold day but these birders were bundled in warm clothing, excited because they could see common mergansers and some bufflehead ducks in the distance.
The A marks where Port Darlington is located
Looking southeasterly the sky looked bluer
Canada geese and mallards were close to the beach and five swans (I can see only one in this photo) patrolled the waters a bit further out.

They must REALLY love birds. brrrrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteThey are serious about their craft to be out in that cold! I love the swan.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they brought along bread crumbs? Great winter photo along the water's edge!
ReplyDeleteI would be jumping around to stay warm and all that jumping would scare all the birds away! Thanks for the map perspective.
ReplyDeleteOh good grief! Don't those dumb birds know enough to come south like other Ontarions? Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteFun pitchers, though!
Never did understand people who go out to watch birds without a camera. Some part of their brain must be missing! ;-)
The first photo is amazing. LOTS of birds there! It's as crowded as Tokyo Metro.
ReplyDeleteNice shots. I have never seen so many ducks in one place before. How fun!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cold but pleasant day for bird watching.
ReplyDeleteVery devoted bird watchers! That would make a great painting, with the 3 figures in the winter landscape.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of a beautiful view. Thanks for the map!
ReplyDeleteI guess they are more used to that cold than me...
ReplyDeleteWhat terrific captures! They look like they're having a great time in spite of the cold -- and it does look COLD! Hope your week is off to a great start! Enjoy!

Lovely post. I don´t know so much about birds but I do love them, there songs and life in my garden.
ReplyDeletePhotography and bird watching do go hand in hand. Lovely scenes viewed from the comfort of my warm lounge.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing passionate people like these birders enjoying their "passion".
ReplyDeleteLots of birds for photography. They sure have those big "bird" lens.
ReplyDeleteIt looks freezingly cold.
I magnified the top photo. That is some lens they are looking through. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteLooks colder there than here....and I thought it was cold enough here.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to see all those birds. We have a lot of mallards, coots and swans over here.At this time of the year they flock together begging for food.
ReplyDeleteTerrific shots. Very dedicated bird watchers, I do most of my watching from my window.
ReplyDeleteMany times I've stood on the shores of that Lake in the winter. Good photo. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River.
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit cold out for birding. I'm either an fair weather or window birder.
ReplyDeleteDelightful captures! Oh … to have feathers like these birds to stay warm all winter!
ReplyDeleteIt looks really cold, thanks for the map it is interesting to see where the photos were taken. It looks like the sort of place I would like to visit.
ReplyDeletein a month they might start coming back to Sweden. That feels good. The lake looks great now. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really cold day on the lake! Nice shots.
ReplyDeletewatched on TV, Gordon ramsey went to shoot Canadian geese.
ReplyDeleteBird watching is always so interesting! Wonderful photo, this one and the one below!
ReplyDeleteToday I've enjoyed a walk in the sunshine and the snow, lovely!
Have nice days! :)
The birders are almost as interesting as the birds they're watching. I'm not sure I would be out there on such a cold day.
ReplyDeleteCold, but very beautiful and I'm sure worth being outside to see that!
ReplyDeleteDedicated birdwatching, and dedicated birdwatcher-watching, too.
ReplyDeleteNice shots.

This is georgeous. What a place to see and to think this part of Canada will not see the geese come home for a three more months.
ReplyDeleteLovely Lovely post.
There were plenty of birds to watch but I thought they were supposed to fly south in the winter. They didn't get very far.
ReplyDeleteThis looks cold! But pretty too!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of birds to watch!
ReplyDeleteCool shots!
How very serene! And you still have open water... Ours is all iced over.
ReplyDeletelooks very cold, nice photos
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week,
