After finding we were too early for the salmon run at Étienne Brûlé park on Saturday we canoed the Humber on Sunday.
Even though it was busier than I have ever seen it with people in the park we saw so much wildlife. The biggest treat was a pair of deer, which you don’t expect right in the city.
In the same marsh on the Humber River there was a great egret and great blue herons.
The Humber is home to a very large number of double-crested cormorants. We often see mute swans, Canada geese and mallards but this time as the water level was so low in the marsh we saw dozens of these adorable little lesser yellow legs wandering around in the mud.
There were literally piles of turtles, mainly map and painted turtles too.
