For the second time this week I went for a walk at Darlington Marsh and in a decent-sized copse I heard, then spotted what I'm about 90% sure is an Acadian Flycatcher. The song seems right as does its appearance. I think the only reason I'm second-guessing myself is b/c I've never seen one before and they're so rare.
I always park at the southern terminus of Solina Rd. which is between the Coutice and Holt Rd. exits on the 401. There is a small parking lot right at the end of the road. From there I walk in and head east on the trail. Hugging the trail you can see a copse about 2-300m down the trail. Its there where I've spotted the bird. Its most co-operative and you can hear it singing away as you approach.
Cheers and Happy birding
