Graceful mallard and wood ducks relaxing by the waterside on an autumn afternoon Toronto, Ontario, Canada. High Park is home to many of these beautiful birds.
Swans frolicking in the winter sun by Lake Ontario. The last image is my favourite in this set. The translucency in the swan’s wings is so beautiful and elegant.
I’ve found a new appreciation for swans in the past few weeks. These guys seem socialized and from my experience, are friendly towards humans. I’ve spent time just sitting by them and observing while they either stand or sit around me. We’ve fed them quite a few times at this point, so I hope they’ve realized we aren’t a threat. It’s always so relaxing to just sit and listen while they honk at each other.
