Hi and welcome to the board.  Just wanted to say thankyou for posting a report from the quarry.  I've always wondered what was there.  You had a decent selection of birds.

Walter :)

bordered by Gerrard Street east and the railroad tracks to the north and south, and Victoria Park Ave on the west.  Basically tucked up in the north east corner of Vic Park/Gerrard East, behind where the driving range used to be.

P.S.:  I found most of the birds in the western extremity where it's bushier and there's a sumac patch.  But exercise caution.  I think someone is living in there.
