Title: Canada, Bay-breasted and many more in Queen's Park 14th
Post by: Mathieu Siol on May 14, 2010, 10:58:18 AM

Hi all, this morning I had what probably was my best birding in Queen's Park. It was literally filled with birds.
I managed to see the following species (and I am sure I must have missed some).

-CANADA WARBLER 1 beautiful
-BAY-BREASTED WARBLER   2 superb males
-Blackburnian Warbler   3
-Black-throated Blue Warbler  6
-Black-throated Green Warbler 5
-Black-and-white Warbler    6
-Northern Parula  2 (one was actually seen between St Georges street and Queen's Park Crescent West)
-Nashville Warbler 2
-Yellow-rumped Warbler  5
-Yellow Warbler 2
-Chestnut-sided Warbler   3
-Magnolia Warbler   5
-American Redstart   5
-Ovenbird   3 (only one in the park, the other two were just on the other side of Queen's Park Crescent West between Wycliffe College and Hart House)

-Veery   at least 10
-Swainson's Thrush > 6
-WOOD THRUSH   1 beautiful
-Rose-Breasted Grosbeak   4
-White-throated Sparrow  > 10
-White-crowned Sparrow  2
-LINCOLN SPARROW   1 beautifully seen hoping on the ground
-Ruby-crowned Kinglet  1
-Baltimore Oriole  3

A very nice way to start the day...I would be curious to see what will be found in more suitable sites along the lakeshore today with this big fall of birds.

Good birding all

Mathieu
