24 participants enjoyed a good day's birding on Toronto Islands on Saturday. Migrants were fairly widespread and we ended up with a collective total of 76 species. Nothing particularly rare was found, but we had a good mix of species including 18 warblers. Close views of fall-plumaged Bay-breasted and Blackpoll low down in the same tree provided a good opportunity for study. A large number of Cape May Warblers was also nice to see.
