The following birds were seen and heard in 2 locales--along the car-park roadside, and in the vicinity of the bird-feeder at the end of the path that leads east just after entering the woods. Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Eastern Phoebe, Least Flycatcher, Great Crested Flycatcher, Red-eyed Vireo, Blue-headed Vireo, House Wren, Lincoln's Sparrow; Warblers--Tennessee, Nashville, Yellow, Chestnut-sided (many), Magnolia (many), Cape May (female), Black-throated Blue, Yellow-rumped (many), Black-throated Green, Blackburnian (many), Palm, Bay-breasted (1 along the roadside), Black-and-white, Am. Redstart (many), Ovenbird, Common Yellowthroat, and a brief glimpse of a CANADA WARBLER. Exit the 401 at Thickson Rd. in sw Whitby---drive south toward the lake, turning east along a car-park road that parallels the north side ot the woods.
