Feeling about normal, I decided to go to Whitby from Mississauga before heading into Oakville this morning. The Golden-crowned Sparrow appeared at 7:10 a.m. along with fox, white-throated, song and tree sparrow. It fed for about 5 minutes and then went back into the bush. Directions: Take 401

The Golden-crowned Sparrow is in its 4th day at the Cranberry Marsh south pathway --but, after 11AM it was not on its "every 10-12 minutes routine".
