The male Eurasian Wigeon is still on the lake west of Thickson Point (opposite the gazebo) along with 2 Brant.
We also spotted an adult and a juvenile Northern Shrike as we walked along the trail White-winged Crossbills are still in the tall spruce trees on the south side of Thickson Woods. Directions:- THICKSON WOODS and THICKSON POINT IN WHITBY If driving east from Toronto on Hwy 401 then exit at Thickson Road (Exit 412) and turn right (south). Drive along Thickson Road S across Victoria Street E. and Wentworth Street W to the end of the road and at the Waterfront Trail (right side of the road) is a small parking lot. Park there and you could either bird down Corbett Ave. to the lake or you could walk the short distance back up (north) on Thickson Road S (140 meters / 150 yards) to the eastern section of the Waterfront Trail (yellow gate). You can bird your way down to the entrance to Thickson Woods, the entrance to the woods is on the south side of the trail and the entrance to the meadow is on the opposite side or you can bird further down the road to the creek and then return to the woods entrance. The trail to Thickson Point starts beside the parking lot and goes west along the lake. The gazebo is about 1 km km the parking lot. Be sure to put any valuables out of site or in your trunk.
