Hello Ontbirders,

This afternoon there were a myriad of warblers at Britannia (mostly along the 
ridge). A very nice Orange-Crowned warbler was amongst the species seen. Eleven 
species of warbler also included Magnolia, Northern Parula, Blackpoll and 
Bay-Breasted. There was a Philadelphia Vireo working its way along the ridge as 
well. There were a couple White-Crowned Sparrows and ten Juncos also present. I 
did check the Dechenes rapids for any sign of the Sabine's Gull but there was 
nothing special with the Bonapartes. A nice afternoon and there are certainly a 
few good pockets of migrants circulating.

Good birding,

Jay Peterson

Directions to this Site: From Highway 417 (The Queensway) take exit 129 
(Greenbank & Pinecrest Roads). If travelling west, the 0.3 km offramp dumps you 
right or north onto Pinecrest Road. If driving east, a 0.3 km offramp brings 
you to Pinecrest/Greenbank Road, where you will turn left or north onto 
Pinecrest Road and in 0.4 km join the westbound offramp traffic. Both groups 
will now follow Pinecrest Road north 0.8 km from here to Richmond Road. Turn 
right or northeast onto Richmond and go 0.5 km, crossing Carling Avenue, to 
Poulin Avenue. Turn left or north onto Poulin and go 0.6 km to where a right 
only turn puts you on Howe Street. Follow Howe west 0.2 km to Britannia Road. 
Turn right or north onto Britannia Road and proceed 0.8 km to Cassels Street. 
The Britannia Yacht Club is directly in front of you. Park along Cassels 
Street. You will have to proceed on foot through the Yacht Club gate, walk 200 
metres east past the barrier and 150 metres north to the DeschĂȘnes Rapids - 
Ontario. To view the area below the rapids proceed east along Cassels to the Y 
junction and bear left to go behind the filtration plant to Britannia Point.
