The beauty of birding at the Leslie Street Spit - The Globe and Mail

"Right now, the annual spring migration is bringing some of the loveliest birds in the world into Toronto and almost nobody pays attention but the cats. Millions of warblers and other songbirds that have been wintering in Central and South America pour, in a concentrated rush, literally right past our doors on their way to the boreal forests. For the next few weeks, gorgeous little yellow-rumped warblers and brown creepers and northern flickers and nearly 300 other species fill our gardens and parks."
