This has been a banner year for Purple Sandpipers in Toronto. Since the end of October, birds have been showing up regularly in eastern and western locations along the city's shoreline. Here's a photo of one of these sandpipers that I saw recently at the end of Peninsula B in Tommy Thompson Park.

Very nice photo. But does he seems to be sad to you? Maybe the big dark eyes...

December 29. Watched a Bald Eagle for about an hour and a half from the comfort of our living room! It sat in an Oak tree about a hundred yards away preening and watching as hikers passed on the trails below completely unaware he was above them. Unfortunately, we missed seeing it fly off but it was a treat being able to watch such a magnificent bird, for such a long time, at our leisure!

Backyard Birding / Very Late Lincoln's Sparrow.

While I still have an adult White-crowned Sparrow hanging around it was joined today by a Lincoln's Sparrow. Lincoln's Sparrows are rare enough in this area, but in late December? Photo here: https://ebird.org/canada/checklist/S78254550

You finally got to see a wild fox on your driveway, it couldn't be any better. Congrats. Hope all your wishes come true in 2021. Happy New Year.
Thank you so much Dinu, Happy New year to you as well.

Very good find Thomas. My only sighting of Red Crossbills came from my trips to Algonquin, 3 and half hour drive away. So was for White-winged until this year when I got to see a few in Ashbridges Bay Park. So anything closer is a bonus.

When I was sweeping snow this morning at 6:45, I saw a fox trotting on the road, 1st ever. Not just in my area. My very first wild fox sighting! You just have to wish hard, hahaha. Not I am wishing for short-eared owls. :P :P
