Dear Fellow Birders, A few more migrants have been returning over the last few days at the Leslie St. Spit. Today there were several Yellow-rumped Warblers, a Pine Warbler, and a small movement of C. Loons. Numbers of Fox Sparrows, Hermit Thrushes, both Kinglets, Caspian Terns, as well as a single Greater Yellowlegs being noted as well over the last few days. Directions: Follow the Gardiner Expressway east past the DVP until it becomes Lakeshore Rd, and then turn right at Leslie St. and park at the foot of the street.
