Am looking at an O/S right now. Follow Rick's excellent directions. Once in the dead tree area, be prepared to explore...it took me quite a few minutes to find the bird. Perched high but not at tree top. Also, nuthatches, woodpeckers, etc. around. Hiking boots sufficed.

They are in a wet pocket of Cedarbrae ravine park that can be reached via a path and stairs at the north loop of Landfair Cres. Just follow around behind the houses until you reach a wet area with no path. Push through the Jewelweed until you can see the tops of the dead trees. Take rubber boots. There are also Carolina Wrens, and a very elusive Connecticut Warbler. Today there was a young Merlin present.
