It's not night time! Night heron sighted during the day. Absurd!

Ardea alba

Great egrets are mainly waders but also sometimes hunt by swimming or even hovering. I suspect that they egret it.

167 years ago today, on April 13, 1858, a powerful storm severed the peninsula protecting Toronto’s harbour, creating the permanent eastern gap to the Toronto Islands.

Nannopterum auritum

A bird that swims well enough to catch fish! Pretty cool, but don't stand downwind of their nests... It's not pleasant.

Also, look at those eyes!
