Hi,
A red-headed woodpecker was calling from a large poplar at the corner of
the lakefront road and the first north/south road east of the gate. It was
chased by a grackle and flew west past the foot of Thickson Road along the
lakefront bluff, where it continued to call.
To reach Thickson's Woods exit from 401 to Thickson Road South in
Whitby. Proceed south past Wentworth Street to the Waterfront Trail. Turn
left, turn around and park on the north side of the road. Enter the woods
on a path from
the south side, about 200 metres east of Thickson Road. Follow the trails
through the woods, some of which access the Lake Ontario shore. To view the
beaver pond and Corbett Creek Marsh continue east about 100 metres past the
entrance to the woods. The meadow is across the Waterfront Trail
immediately north of the woods. The entrance is directly across the
waterfront trail from the entrance to the woods. To view a map,
