Hi all!
Even though I was already late for work(traffic) - I stopped at my
favourite migrant trap - the large rectangular spruce planting/garden at the
old Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital grounds - east of Kipling Ave and south
of Lakeshore Rd - in west Toronto.
In 22 minutes and keeping my shoes dry I was able to see;
1 Great Crested Flycatcher,2 Nashville,1 Black and White,2
Black-throated Green and 1 Palm Warbler. 1 Blue-headed Vireo, 1 female
Rose-breasted Grosbeak and 1 male Rusty Blackbird -"gurgling".
White throated Sparrows were everywhere along with many Yellow-rumped
Warblers and Hermit Thrushes and Ruby-crowned Kinglets. I could have taken
the morning off to really enjoy myself, but felings of guilt overcame me and
I continued on to school.
Crossing the Humber River, I spotted a Red-throated Loon in winter plumage
along with the usual Double-crested Cormorants in the rivermouth. I should
be smiling the rest of the day and am now really looking forward to leading
Saturday's OFO trip to Rondeau PP, with the assistance of Blake Mann.
Cheers! Maris
