At last, a morning filled with migrants in the Bartley Smith Greenway. Although the past couple of weeks have yielded a steady stream of migrants, including 13 species of warbler, the numbers have been pretty low. This morning, perhaps encouraged by the gentle north wind last night, the birds decided to come through in good numbers and variety. Nashvilles and Black-throated Greens were numerous. Other warblers seen were: Northern Parula, Black-throated Blue, Wilsons, Common Yellowthroat and Palm. Some of the other species seen: Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Vireos: Philadelphia, Blue-headed, Red-eyed. Sparrows: White-crowned, White-throated, Lincolns, Savannah, Song, House. Scarlet Tanager. Red-breasted Nuthatch, Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, numerous Northern Flickers. Brown Thrashers, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Swainsons Thrush, Mockingbirds, Kingfisher, Catbirds.
The Bartley Smith Greenway runs from Steeles Avenue (the northern boundary of Toronto) to Langstaff Road, on the west side of Dufferin Street. All of the above birds were seen between the section from Glen Shields Avenue, two lights north of Steeles, to the highway 407 bridge. Ian Cannell Concord, Ontario.
