Title: RFI Bronte Creek and Lambton Woods
Post by: BC on February 17, 2007, 05:12:01 PM

Does anyone have any tips or thoughts regarding birding at Bronte Creek and/or Lambton Woods? I'm thinking of going in the next day or two?

Used to be better and is now a little hit & miss. Use the footpaths (closer to woods) to avoid the high traffic river routes.  Winter has produced P.Siskins et al. but then there used to be someone who'd set up a feeder, not sure if still around. Spring can be good & as productive as anywhere boths woods and the Humber. Don't discount the Humber north to Scarlet, Eglinton and Lawrence. In spring watch yourself near the bike route as slow meandering birders and speed demon cyclists don't mix.

Thanks. We got there late afternoon yesterday and there are a few feeders. Nothing to report other than Chickadees and several Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, often two to a tree. It does look like a good spring spot.

Are you talking about the area adjacent to the Humber just north of Dundas?  aka Lambton Park -- James Gardens.
I saw two Red-Tailed Hawks in a tree right near Dundas St. the other day.

That's the spot.
