Spring Birding in Winter

Much of southern Ontario's so-called "winter" has been full of sunny skies, warm weather, and most notably, no snow. Along with this pleasantly mild winter, Torontonian birders have been enjoying tons of birds, especially some early and resident spring migrants! Take a look below.
