I birded Rattray for 5 hours this afternoon and saw the gannet flying
east at 5:00 pm about 150 meters off shore. The Nelson's Sparrow was
feeding in the flooded path between cattails off the observation tower
on the 'Knoll tail' which can be accessed directly off the bottom of
the hill at the south end of Bexhill. There were a lot of Winter
Wrens (41) and Brown Creepers (37) as well hundreds of Kinglets. I
also a found a late Wood and Gray-cheeked Thrushes but found only two
species of warbler: Pine and Yellow-rumped.
Directions: best accessed at the south end of Bexhill Road which runs
south of Lakeshore Boulevard which is just east of Clarkson (Erin
Mills Parkway exit on QEW).
