2004-05-03 Thread Bev Hettrick & Mark Jennings
On May 2 at 6pm I found a Yellow-breasted Chat in Shell Park, Bronte( south-west Oakville). The bird was along the creek between the two bridges opposite the concrete water outlet. The bird was very skulky as I could not find it 10 minutes later. Among the 11 species of warblers in the area were
