I just got home to find a voicemail message from Norm Murr, who is birding the Toronto Islands today. He had just found a Bell's Vireo, beside the Eastern Gap on Ward's Island. He had also seen a Connecticut Warbler and a Cerulean Warbler. The location of the Bell's Vireo: Take the ferry from the foot of Bay Street in Toronto to Ward's Island. >From the ferry walk straight ahead to the washrooms. Turn left at the >washrooms and walk along the path to the Eastern Gap (the water between >Toronto Islands and the Leslie Street Spit). At the Gap, walk right along the concrete 100 metres or so (I'm guessing) to a small gap on your right where you have to step down to start walking along a grassy path. It's at that spot the Bell's was seen, associating with several Red-eyed Vireo. Norm has no cell phone (I don't know how he called me), so I can't give more info. than I have.
