[Ontbirds] OFO Leslie Street Spit Field Trip tomorrow

[John Carley via ONTBIRDS]

 

Hello, Ontbirders:

 

For those of you who will be joining us for the annual OFO field trip at the
Leslie Street Spit (Tommy Thompson Park) tomorrow at 8 am: please note that
the weather report is rather ominous, predicting thunderstorms all day. We
will be present at the meeting place (parking lot at Unwin and Leslie) and
will evaluate conditions at 8 am, and decide whether to proceed. Also,
should we commence the walk and conditions change for the worse (ie
lightning), the walk will be ended.  

 

Cheers,

 

John Carley, Garth Riley, Bob Cumming
