RECENT BIRD SIGHTINGS NEAR TORONTO

   This is my first post.  My fiance, Sharon and I took up birding seriously four to five months ago.  I bought a new camera, a Canon Power Shot SX60HS, which has 65x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom.  I really like the camera, as it lets me get real closeups of distant birds.  

   We spend half the year in southwest Florida and the other half in  the Toronto, Canada area, so we see birds in both locations and on the auto trip back and forth between them.  Since taking up birding and from prior outings I have thousands of photos of birds.  I plan to add some of them to this blog.

   Here are some photos of birds from the last couple of days.
