Title: Warblers N-W Mississauga
Post by: Mario on June 02, 2007, 01:37:24 PM

For the last couple of weeks I was looking for Warblers around Wabukayne, a small rainstorm pond in N-W Mississauga. This are some picks of what I saw. More to come.

That's a very nice shot of a Wilson's. You're very lucky to have hotspot like that closeby.

Very nice shots Mario.  Do the birds stay around Wabukayne year for the full season or are they moving through as part of the migration?  

I spent a lot of my childhood fishing and playing around Aquitaine and Wabukayne on the cycle paths at at the community center there so I know the location well and would love to make a birding trip up there if it is worth it.

Hi Jaedon,
Thanks for showing interest for my shots. Unfortunately the warblers don’t stay there year around. They started to appear at the beginning of May and they came in waves two three spices at a time and they stay for one or two days. Now they are all gone. The place is too small and become very crowd lately for birds to nest there. For me because is just across the street from my home is very convenient and I can go there every afternoon or during the weekends. This way I have good chances to spot interesting birds passing by.
Last year the only interesting bird that nested there was a pair of King Fishers and they had three babies. You can see picks from last year on:
