Cool northwest winds kept the warblers low except in the south end of Thickson's Woods. In the meadow was an Eastern Kingbird. In the mudflats of Corbett Creek was a solitary Sandpiper.
Within the woods a Golden-winged Warbler kept many birders "hopping" about as the bird was rather elusive. My count tallies to 18 warbler species, with the aforementioned and Tennessee, Bay-breasted, Blackburnian, Cape May, N.Waterthrush and Ovenbird being highlights. Both Orioles were there. While many were finding the Summer Tanager a Scarlet Tanager showed itself several times. The Red-bellied Woodpecker shows itself periodically. There are many Blue-headed Vireos and a few Warbling Vireos. Exit the 401 onto Thickson Rd., south toward the lake, turning left at the Waterfront trail sign. Doug Lockrey, Whitby
