This unfinished building siding, makes it seem like the pigeons have little condos.

Apparently if you can swim across the river, you are not a witch.

A bicyclist was hit today, on Eglinton and Oakwood.

The city has still not installed the promised and planned bike lanes.

The new LRT has opened. This was meters from the subway station. The city has spent billions on the LRT, and 16 years of construction. Yet the neighbour has been abandoned by the city to car traffic. Prioritizing people traveling from downtown, to the 401 highway, using the Allen Rd.

The winter is dragging on, not much happening in the local park #bird wise in mid-town #Toronto

Looks like the coldest part of winter is behind us, feels like spring.

Saw this robin getting some sun and snacks.

I spotted this cooper's hawk landing in the tree.
I wonder how often the hawk frequents my backyard without me noticing it?

This is my picture of Black Creek at Smythe park, from the spring of 2026.

It's a creek that really should be naturalized.

Fantasy Toronto. Just imagine a new naturalized park in Toronto;

1) Walk using the electrical hydro corridor from Caledonia and St. Clair to Keele street,
2) Use the new tunnel that the city is building under the train tracks near the Stockyards,
3) The city revitalizes Lavender creek,
4) The city naturalizes the Black Creek,
5) A path is made along the golf course to connect to the Humber river, along a naturalized Black Creek.

It would be one the greatest naturalized walks in Toronto, a whole new creek walkway that is 5kms long.

The Black Creek should be naturalized near Jane street.

The Black Creek at Jane and Alliance Ave. should be naturalized. The Black Creek was cemented in years ago. The banks should be expanded and made marsh land / wet land. Such areas are important habit for birds.

And...there is space in Black Creek West Park to create a series of ponds.
