Birdhouse

Today was another walk through the Music Garden, though we took a tiny detour through what is known as the the Spadina Quay Wetlands.

Formerly a parking lot, about 15 years ago it was (according to Lonely Planet) "transformed into the 2800-sq-meter Spadina Quay Wetlands, a thriving, sustainable ecosystem full of frogs, birds, fish and butterflies."

It is a pretty spot if somewhat small.  It's been very difficult to enjoy recently due to the construction happening along Queens Quay on its northern side.(but this will hopefully soon be over).  The main highlight is the birdhouse, aka Bird House Sculpture by Anne Roberts.

It's meant to represent a block of Toronto waterfront at the turn of the century.
