At long last there was a small fallout of warblers at Little River in east Windsor today. Nothing spectacular, but some good birds including Northern Parula, Blue-winged, Canada, and the best -- at 11:35 this morning -- a Worm-eating Warbler foraging on the east bank of the old creek. I got to watch it from just 10 metres away for 20 minutes as it fed and then preened for a bit.
The Little River area is accessed from Little River Road at the intersection with Riverdale. Drive in over the bridge, park in the parking lot, then walk south of the toboggan hill along either side of the creek. The best birds tend to be midway where the greatest concentration of trees is.
