Yesterday between 11:00 and 11:20 am yesterday I had the good fortune of finding a male Cerulean Warbler feeding at 15 meters high in budding decidous trees on the west edge of the 'bowl' (a oval depression rimmed with evergreen trees) with small flock of Yellow-rumped Warblers. It was directly across from the 'F' build of the Humber Campus building. I also found three Ruddy Turnstones buffeting the high winds off the lake on the gravel beach of outermost bay.
Directions: Colonel Sam Smith Park is located in SW Toronto at the end of Kipling Avenue which runs south off Lakeshore and is the first major N/S road west is Islington (the main access off the QEW). The 'bowl' is located near the east end of the first parking lot SW of the the Lakeshore/Kipling intersection and turn east on the first road leading to park south of Lakeshore.
