Cootes Paradise North, Royal Botanical Gardens Arboretum, Hamilton

I hiked the north side of Cootes Paradise Sanctuary (part of the Royal Botanical Gardens Arboretum) for this video, and I will also have a video for the south side.
I got here early in the morning and spent a wonderful few hours exploring these beautiful trails: along the water, through the marsh, and through the forest and RBG Arboretum. All the intersections are well-marked, and the trails are quite hilly.
There are boardwalks, small bridges, and lookout platforms at the water and also higher up the hill. I love the lookout platform in the marsh.
I found the perfect place to eat the breakfast I brought - just a short walk from the Nature Centre down the hill on the anishinaabe waadiziwin trail.
It did get busy there, but I love seeing so many people enjoying being outdoors. I talked to some friendly regulars who gave me some trail advice, as well as some black sunflower seeds for the birds. It's the first time a nuthatch has landed on my hand.
I think I'll go back to see this area in lush green in the summer.

This was wonderful... I really love the teaching narration... Your pose was super cool... And feeding birds out of your hand... Wow... Fun, fun, fun... . I imagine in the spring...it would really be alive with waterfowl . 😊😊😊 Great Work ✌️

Thanks very much. It was such a nice day there - I think I will go back in the spring and I think you're right that there will be lots of waterfowl

Nice you earned the trust of that white breasted nuthatch and it landed on your hand😊 I was surprised to see the frog in your video also, up here everything is still frozen over. Good video 😊

That's the first time I've had a visit from a nuthatch. The people who gave me the seeds told me a downy woodpecker might possibly come, and I saw one that kept getting closer and closer. But it was always spooked when people walked by
