The first two killdeers of the spring were calling as they flew eastward
over "The Meadow" at 12:00 noon today. Robins were calling excitedly in the
woods. A single male redwing sang from the marsh. By dusk he will, no
doubt, be joined by others.
To reach Thickson's Woods exit from 401 to Thickson Road South in
Whitby. Proceed south past Wentworth Street to the Waterfront Trail. At
the moment you will need to park on Thickson Road and walk east along the
Waterfront Trail. Enter the woods on a path from the south side, about 200
metres east of Thickson Road. Follow the trails through the woods, some of
which access the Lake Ontario shore. To view the beaver pond and Corbett
Creek Marsh continue east about 100 metres past the entrance to the woods.
The meadow is across the Waterfront Trail immediately north of the woods.
The entrance is directly across the waterfront trail from the entrance to
the woods. To view a map,
