Good afternoon
This morning Ian Cannell and I did a fast walk through the Currie Tract at Campbellville and besides the usual suspects we found and mostly saw 8 Blue-winged and 4 Mourning Warblers. There are also a good numbers of Indigo Buntings, Towhees, Scarlet Tanagers and Field Sparrows to be seen and heard as well as Wood Thrushes and Veerys and uncountable Mosquitoes.
Before we left we stopped at a wet area on 4th Line just north of the 90 degree turn beside the Turner Tract and here we found Red-bellied and Hairy Woodpeckers as well as hearing Tree Frogs and Green Frogs and of course we added more Mosquitoes to our daily count ( if we were counting them ).
Directions:-
CURRIE TRACT and TURNER TRACT
CURRIE TRACT
Exit Hwy 401 at Guelph Line ( Exit 312 ) ( at Campbellville ) and drive north just past the second entrance into the Mohawk Raceway and you will see a small road on your right, turn in here and you will come to a small parking lot about 200 yards from the entrance. This is the start of the trail system.
TURNER TRACT
Continue north on Guelph Line to 10th Sideroad and turn right ( west ) on 10th and the area on your right becomes the Turner Tract. Drive and listen all along this road to the 90 degree left turn onto 4th Line Nassagawaya. The main trail entrance is on your right at this corner. You can also drive north along 4th Line a short distance and there is another trail system on your right.
Be aware that these trails are heavily used by cyclists.
