I spent a very soggy hour and a half circulating in the Wet Woods in the north
west sector of the park. The fog descended and seemed to push the warblers down:
Ovenbird
Northern Waterthrush
Yellow Warbler
Palm Warbler
Black-throated Green
Black-throated Blue
Black-and-white
Chestnut-sided
Yellow-rumped
Cape May
Northern Parula
Tennessee
Palm
Others:
Gray Catbird
Brown Thrasher
Solitary Sandpiper
Wilsons Snipe
American Woodcock
Wood Thrush
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Brown Creeper
Blue-headed Vireo
Least Flycatcher
Rusty Blackbird
Eastern Meadowlark
American Bittern (North end of Wet Woods in swampy field)
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Tommy Thompson Park (Leslie Street Spit) is at the south end of Leslie Street
in Toronto where it meets Lake Ontario. The Wet Woods are reached by walking
south west about 200 yards along informal trails. It is quite damp and rubber
boots would be useful.
