Hi ...
A detailed formal report was submitted to the OFNC Records
Subcommittee on a Blue-winged Warbler well seen and heard at the
Britannia Conservation Area at 10:55 this morning, July 5. It was
along the trail to the southwest corner of Mud Pond.
Instructions from Neily World:
http://www.neilyworld.com/neilyworld/birdguide.htm
To Mud Pond http://www.neilyworld.com/neilyworld/orwo10.htm
: From Highway 417 (The Queensway) take exit 129 (Greenbank &
Pinecrest Roads). If travelling west, the 0.3 km offramp dumps you
right or north onto Pinecrest Road. If driving east, a 0.3 km offramp
brings you to Pinecrest/Greenbank Road, where you will turn left or
north onto Pinecrest Road and in 0.4 km join the westbound offramp
traffic. Both groups will now follow Pinecrest Road north 0.8 km from
here to Richmond Road. Turn right or northeast onto Richmond and go
0.5 km, crossing Carling Avenue, to Poulin Avenue. Turn left or north
onto Poulin and go 0.6 km to where a left only turn puts you on Howe
Street. Follow Howe west 0.2 km to Britannia Road. Turn right or
north onto Britannia Road and proceed 0.8 km to Cassels Street. Turn
right or east onto Cassels and go 0.4 km to a small parking area on
the left at the Britannia Conservation Area
Detailed Location from the Report:
EXACT LOCATION SEEN: Britannia Conservation Area/Mud Lake: A few
metres down the trail from the trailhead on the south side of Cassels
and on the west side of Mud Lake, a trail branches to the right. If
one follows this trail, it goes straight for several metres, then it
curves to the left, goes past a very small pond (sometimes dried up)
on the right and then comes to a more open, bushy area. This is the
location where the warbler was found.
