Toronto Spring, The smell of rotting birdseed singe the air Song birds scurring to & fro Parcelling nesting territory Nest building, feasting on fresh earthworms Fending off Pirate Birds & Cats! Beaver busy foraging in Ashbridges Bay Swallows chasing insects low over Lake Ontario Dog chasing a swan for fun! Pintails & Cormorants and ducks straying further offshore As sailors hoist their sails & begin to rev their motors! Daffodils, grass, tulips and ladybugs all greet the stirring springtime Shorts, Bikinis & rollerblades sing around the community! Rejoice, Spring has arrived in full bloom north of the 49th!
