A male NORTHERN PARULA was seen around 1pm on Dec.13 near the culvert of Corbett's Creek, just to the east of the entrance into Thickson Woods, by Dan Kaczynski, Charlie Adey and Karl Jennewein. South down Thickson Rd. in east Whitby to the road to the left, north of the lakefront.
A sub-adult male NORTHERN HARRIER flew low over the meadow to the west of Hall's Rd., going toward the lakefront. A light-morph ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK was seen from the raptor platform. I saw a NORTHERN GOSHAWK fly in front of my car at the south end of Hall's Rd. in mid-morning. Rayfield Pye and I noted 65 CROSSBILLS (probably all White-winged) fly above the trees at the entry path to CMRW--they split into 2 groups, neither of which could be found after. Hall's Rd. runs south off Bayly/Victoria, 1 block east of Lakeridge Rd. in southwest Whitby.
