Went for a quick walk at 3 yesterday and saw/heard a few birds still hanging around - Goldfinches, song sparrow, swap sparrow, purple finch, common yellow throat, Belted Kingfisher, T Swans, Cedar Waxwings, chickadees, Red-eyed vireo, wood duck, mallards, a marsh wren, 100's of Red-winged black birds nestled in the cattails, flying in an out. It's quite an amazing site to see so many flying altogether.
As I was standing at the observation blind looking across the cattails, just about 10 feet in front of me I observed a Ruby-throated Hummingbird calmly flying in the bushes from one branch to another. I though that they'd be farther south by now, so I didn't know what to think. Directions to Wye Marsh: From T.O. 400 N to Hwy 93 to Hwy 12, turn right and follow till you see the Wye Marsh sign.
