Dear birders,
A Yellow-throated Vireo was singing from a clearly visible perch from
6:55 through 7:30 at the southeastern corner of the parking lot to the
Summerstown Forest trails this morning but was silent when I returned
from a forest walk at noon. This is an unexpected bird in this far
eastern part of the province though I have twice before seen the species
in this forest.
A Solitary Sandpiper was observed in the adjacent swamp.
Among the other 30+ species found up the forest trails (A1, A2, A3: map
in parking lot) were Scarlet Tanager, Ovenbird, Least Flycatcher, Great
Crested Flycatcher,and Eastern Wood-Pewee.
The entrance to Summerstown Forest Trails is clearly signposted on the
west side of County Rd 27 about 1.5 kms. north of Exit 804 of Highway
401 (first exit east of Cornwall).
