For those who might be interested, there was an unusually large number of migrant flycatchers at Col. Sam Smith park this morning, mostly Empids. I would expect the birds are still present.
At least seven species of flycatcher (incl. Kingbird) were present although to the best of my knowledge, no Olive-sided or Acadian have been seen at the park this morning. Examples of Least, Alder, Willow, Yellow-bellied, Great-crested and Eastern Pewee were all heard singing this morning and seen under less-than-ideal light conditions due to fog (which I assume has since burned off). A large number of Empids were not vocalizing. Col. Sam Smith Park is located immediately south of the intersection of Kipling Ave. and Lakeshore Blvd. in Toronto.
