The blogs won't appear every day but should last for some time to come. Please bear with me as I try to make them as interesting as possible.
As for my BarrytheBirder blog, I will continue to publish bird pictures as I come across them but on a more infrequent basis. Let's see what happens.
As for this week, it's a look (below) at Aurora's Field of Gold (below) in the Aurora Arboretum where approximately five acres of daffodils are in bloom along the east side of Tannery Creek. The huge display should last another week or so.
Of further interest, just south of the Field of Gold and at the south end of the large Arboretum pond are the remains of some work by local beaver. There are also a pair of Trumpeter Swans (below) that appear to be building a nest on the north side of the large pond.
Please comment if you wish.

King Township has declared the Black-capped Chickadee as the official bird of the York Region township. The choice was made in 2023 after 230 voters chose it over four other local birds. Several events in 2024 will recognize the choice during the year.
