Hello, Ontbirders Forty participants braved the sunny weather today on the all-day Toronto Ornithological Club Baillie bird walk at the Leslie Street Spit in Toronto.
77 species in total were observed. Highlights included 8 species of warblers, with a Yellow-breasted Chat seen to the west of the "wet woods", which are indeed wet. A Rusty Blackbird was seen in these woods. Other highlights included a White-eyed Vireo at Triangle Pond, and 2 Pine warblers just north of that pond. A third Pine Warbler was seen in the wet woods. 2 Surf Scoters were spotted off the endikement arm, and an immaculate adult Glaucous Gull flew south on the east side of the spine road. Cheers John Carley, trip leader The Leslie Street Spit begins at the southern terminus of Leslie Street, at Unwin Avenue in Toronto. The "wet Woods" are on the Baselands, approx SW of the parking lot.
