Around 7.30 this morning, John and I made our annual visit to the Tract to check out the Mourning Warblers and other migrants. Going along the main tract, take the first trail right after the small marsh .The Worm-eating Warbler was seen in the low sumac bushes (about 400 metres in) under the hydro line. Also present Black-Billed Cuckoo, Towhee, Indigo Bunting, RB Grosbeaks. Continue on the trail thru small wood of large trees and take first trail veering left..continue left until reaching a pond. The Prothonotary and Prairie W.(on territory?) were feeding in the birches, left side of the pond. And, yes, despite the cold, the mosquitoes were hungry! To reach the Tract, take the Guelph Line, north of HW40l. The road into the Tract is across from the Mohawk Race Track, on the right side just north of the second entrance into the Race Track. There is a small parking area just in from the main road. Bill Karner Mississauga
