A short tour around the very wet woodlot just west of the main parking lot at the spit today (1:00) yielded a Yellow-Rumped Warbler as well as Chipping and Sparrows, Woodcock, Thrasher, YB Sapsucker, Flicker and GC Kinglet. Looking out at the bay just west of the woodlot, there were 2 Pied Billed Grebes along with lots of Long-tailed Ducks.
Jack and Frances Alvo Directions: From the DVP take Lakeshore Blvd. east to Leslie St., head south to end. The spit is open to the public on week-ends but please be aware of the afternoon closing time (look for the signs) otherwise your car may be locked in when they lock the parking lot. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
