A Walk in the Real West End (Etobicoke), June 14, 2023

-

I thought I'd be clever and sort my photos in reverse date order before uploading them (to get round a photo placement issue). The photos still wound up in reverse chronological order.

I've found a better way to assign descriptions to each photo, but for this post I'll keep the descriptions above the relevant photo.

I keep forgetting about these tree branches and walk into them. I was pretty weary the evening before this walk and nearly got knocked on my posterior as a result of walking into them. This tree is located in our local park.

Banding of Peregrine Falcon Chicks, Bloor-Islington Centre, June 15, 2023 (Images)

We witnessed the banding of several peregrine falcon chicks in the lobby of an office building in the west end of Toronto. A scaffold carrying experts in the handling of these birds had to be carefully lowered to a ledge near the top of the building where the chicks were nesting. After the birds were collected, they were taken to a banding area on the ground floor. The Bloor-Islington Centre Peregrine falcon - Wikipedia Following are some of the images I was able to capture. A screen capture of a webcam image showing the retrieval of the chicks for banding.

Can't crop my thumb out, as I'd lose an important part of the image: Brockton Village Bakery: First photo. Taken at a bus stop on the property of Ossington subway station. I recognize the daycare across the street from a number of walks over the years:
