A beautiful day for a walk in the park. |
Friday June 26, 2015. Swan Lake Village area, Markham, Ontario |
|
The cygnets continue to grow rapidly but they are still in the cute baby phase. Flowers and birds make walking to and in the park a very pleasant experience. |

The female wood duck is still on the lake. You can usually see it waiting for the Swans to finish eating so it can raid the Swan Feeding Station. |
Mute Swans |
Taking an after dinner swim to the landing where they can sun and rest. |

Black-capped Chickadee |
Picture taken from the deck in our backyard. We saw it repeatedly go into the decorative bird house on our deck. If we are lucky it may be nesting there. |
