We checked out a trail that we had been driving past many times. The sky was overcast and the canopy was tight so light levels were low. I wanted to travel light so no tripod or macros lens for the DSLR. Luckily the iPhone takes great shots.

Take as old as time the river flows in you (and me) #speedriver

🥾 #Hiked a new-to-me trail yesterday. The sun was bright, the snow was gone & the river was running fast. Walked 8KM along the #MillRunTrail by the #SpeedRiver in Cambridge (ON) & spotted the following birds:

Buffleheads
Hooded Mergansers
Common Mergansers
Mallards
Lesser Scaups
Canada Geese
Ruddy Ducks
Flicker
Downy
Red Tailed Hawk
Blue Jays
Red Winged Blackbirds
Grackles
Song Sparrow
Golden Kinglet
Cardinals
Robins, lots & lots of robins!

A good day for #birding! A great day to be #outdoors!

My favorite trail to walk in #Guelph #Ontario Canada is the #SpeedRiverTrail which goes through #Niska woods and along the #SpeedRiver. The Eastern White #Cedar #trees with the reddish bark, line the trail in some areas and provide not only a canopy along the path but wonderful #winter interest and contrast!

It was a lovely day for a winter walk on the #SpeedRiver Trail in #Guelph #Ontario #Canada. The snow was gently falling on the calm river, the tree branches were lightly dusted with the white snowflakes and it was so peaceful.

Did someone mention #WaterfowlWednesday? These two very handsome drake Mallards were on an inflight collision course to get to the snowy concrete embankment on the #SpeedRiver in #Guelph #Ontario on this lovely winter day. They missed each other at the last minute!

Cross country skiing on new snow just north of town by the Speed River. I saw no-one else for two hours.
