Title: Woodlot across the street - Pickering - Sept,10
Post by: Shortsighted on September 10, 2020, 01:51:42 PM

This morning it was dismal (again) but without the hovering mist. Nonetheless,
there were birds everywhere and there was not much I could do about it when escorting
someone using a walker. I went out somewhat later after things were less exciting.
Wood thrush right off the bat. Gobsmacked! Very white breast with big round beautiful spots.
Also a Hermit thrush and several warblers, including: BT Green, Magnolia, Am. Redstart
Ovenbird, Nashville, and lots of RE vireos. There were probably many other species earlier
on but I was not in a position to assess the bonanza.

After the sky partially cleared and the sun made an appearance I went across the street to the adjacent woodlot to have another look. Still many RE vireo as well as a few Black-throated Green warblers, Ruby-crowned Kinglets and several other birds that I could not see long enough to identify definitively. I posted a few shots in the photo section.
