Hello all, On the off chance that someone else is planning to hike the Mizzy Lake Trail in search of Olive-sided Flycatcher, this is just a note of advice that you might want to hike the trail in reverse. The only OSFL I observed when I hiked the trail last Saturday was at the boardwalk on Dizzy Lake in the final kilometre of the 11 km loop. Actually, Hannah Maciver heard it first, and then we both saw it.
Just thought I would try and save you all about 9 km of hiking and about 1,000 mosquito bites. No other Algonquin specialties were encountered on our hike. Regards, Robert Maciver Directions: Mizzy Lake Trail is at kilometre 15 from the west gate of Algonquin Provincial Park on Hwy 60. Trail maps are available at the trailhead. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
