I birded the base of the Leslie St Spit in Toronto this morning and found a good mixture of spring migrants. I saw 52 species in total. Highlights included solitary sandpiper, Nashville, black and white, yellow, palm, chestnut-sided, cape may warblers, green heron, Virginia rail and warbling vireo. The birds were in the flooded forest just past the entrance.
Pictures of some of the birds can be seen at http://tinyurl.com/66n238 Good birding Jacques Giraud Tommy Thompson Park (Leslie Street Spit) is at the south end of Leslie Street in Toronto where it meets Lake Ontario. The Wet Woods are reached by walking south west about 200 yards along informal trails. It is quite damp and rubber boots would be useful. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
