Continue down Britannia road to Cassels road, turn right and continue onto the entrance to the woods. The ridge is on the north side of the road, the forest and clearing to the south. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
