During an evening visit to Torrance Barrens April 28, we noted a Bohemian Waxwing perched atop one of the bare oaks. Birdsong included 1 Whip-poor-will (early), 2 Sandhill Crane, 1 American Woodcock, 2 Wilson's Snipe, Common Loon, Hermit Thrush, Brown Thrasher.
Directions: Take Muskoka Road 13 between Torrance and Southwood. The barrens occupy about 8 kms. of this road mid-way between the towns. Best areas for night birding are Highland Pond by the main parking lot and the extreme west end of the barrens just before the Red Maple swamp.
