Hi,
Despite a cold wind and frequent showers, there was plenty of song in
Thickson's Woods this morning, including the first Yellow-rumped Warblers I
have heard singing this spring. Other songsters included Winter Wrens, Juncos
and Chipping and Fox Sparrows.
With a cold front arriving, most individuals will probably remain for at
least the next couple of days.

Thickson's Woods Nature Reserve is at the foot of Thickson Road at Lake
Ontario. Exit #401 in Whitby and go south to the Waterfront Trail. Park on
Thickson Road and walk east along the Waterfront Trail. The path into the
woods is on the right. Birds will be concentrated on whatever side of the
woods is sheltered from the wind whenever you visit.
