Yesterday evening I birded Colonel Sam Smith Park between 6 and 7:30pm. It was still quite windy and rained intermittently however there was some activity at the south east corner of the 'bowl':
(where a specific number is not provided, more than ten individuals were seen) Brown Thrasher (2) Winter Wren (2) Blue-headed Vireo (1) Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (1) Hermit Thrush Yellow-rumped Warbler Ruby-crowned Kinglet White-Throated Sparrow American Goldfinch I also had a fleeting glimpse of a particularly rusty coloured Thrush but could not relocate to confirm that it was a Veery. Colonel Sam Smith Park is located south of Humber College at the foot of Kipling Ave. where it intersects Lakeshore Blvd West in Etobicoke. The 'bowl' is a large oval depression in the ground lined by evergreens just east of the Humber College buildings.
