Hello Everyone,
I spent some time birding the Kortright Centre yesterday and today. This morning I was delighted to see a *Red-bellied Woodpecker* feeding amongst a *Hairy Woodpecker*,* *a* Pileated Woodpecker* and a few *White-breasted Nuthatches* by trail marker “G”. There were two *Trumpeter Swans *also present at the Kortright Marsh along with a *Great Blue Heron* visible from the blind. In addition *Belted Kingfishers *are still present in the Humber River and I spotted *Common Raven* in the same area, just south of trail marker “D”. If you are planning on visiting Kortright it may also be worthwhile to visit trail marker “K” as I observed a *Barred Owl* and *White-winged Crossbills* here late last week. A *Northern Shrike* has also been hanging around the hawthorns on the south end of the property for the past couple of weeks, around trail marker “KK”. *Directions:* The Kortright Centre (9550 Pine Valley Drive, Woodbridge) is located 3km west of Highway 400, north Rutherford road and south of Major Mackenzie Drive on Pine Valley Drive and is open to the public daily from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Good Birding!
