On Sunday, we went to High Park in Toronto in order to get a peak at the cherry Blossoms. It was disappointing to see that 80% of the flowers had fallen already, but the Park was full of families, bikers, teens, all out in the sun, watching nature around us. Among the beauty that captured my imagination was this beautiful bird: Red winged black bird, Agelaius, difficult to pronounce for sure, but an Astoundingly beautiful bird with red and yellow wings contrasting starkly with the ebony black of the bird’s body. The only way for me to have been able to capture it in flight was to take a video and screenshot the pictures I wanted, then zoom.
I had such a great time, walked/ hiked the trail with my cousin, then had lunch. The weather was a beautiful spring day with very little wind and hot sun, no jacket needed. Highly recommend a visit. Below is a picture from a Google search, clearly showing the different colors in the wing.
