Greetings Birders, The Black-throated Gray Warbler continues at LaSalle Park & Marina in Burlington. At 1:00 pm today, this strikingly handsome male was showing well in the tall trees immediately north of the parking lot, right where the Waterfront Trail starts and runs east from the dock & marina area. The bird was actively feeding until about 1:15 in the lower outer branches which overhang the lot and the beginning of the trail. Based on previous reports over the past week, this seems to be the warbler's favourite area, although it does disappear from view at times.
To reach LaSalle Park, exit Highway #403 at Waterdown Road and go south. After crossing Plains Rd, Waterdown turns into LaSalle Park Road. Take that to its extreme end, where free parking is available. A bonus after seeing the warbler: The bay waters visible from the trail host a variety of waterfowl, including Trumpeter Swan, Canada Goose, Hooded and Red-breasted Merganser, Long-tailed Duck, Greater and Lesser Scaup, Bufflehead, Canvasback, Mallard and American Black Duck. Good Birding, Bruce Bruce Kirkland 142 Brookside Drive Toronto, Ontario M4E 2M2 Cell: 647-335-7707 _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
