I made a quick trip to the Wet woods at the Spit about 6:30 AM friday morning. It continues to have many flycatchers (Willow, Least, Alder, Yellow-bellied, Peewee, Kingbird) and more Blackpolls than I remember. Am I imagining it or are there many more Blackpolls migrating through this year. Other migrants:
Wilson's warbler Black-throated Green warbler Mourning warbler Northern Water-thrush (I think there are more than 1) American Redstart Canada warbler Common Yellowthroat Black-throated Blue (female) Yellow warbler (nesting) Swainson's Thrush Veery Red-eyed Vireo Scarlet Tanager Baltimore Oriole The Spit and Wet Woods can be accessed from the base of Leslie Street about 1 mile south of Queen St. It's wet again; so, wear boots. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
