Birding Toronto to Sudbury

[SGreenberg]

I'm flying to Toronto next week, and have to drive from there to Sudbury.  I don't know the area well.  Any place along the way (or near Sudbury) I might want to go birding?

Thanks.

How far are you willing to go?

Manitoulin island is only 1.5 to 2hrs away, and you can arrange to go see a Sharp-tailed Grouse lek. Lots of Sandhill Cranes also.

There's also a few other spots sort-of along the way like Tiny Marsh, Minesing Swamp etc.

There's a new feature on the OFO site with birding hotspots and you can click on the link which will bring you to a birding site guide. Some are quite old, but much of the info is very good still.

The page is @ http://www.ofo.ca/hotspots/map.php

Thanks, I'll try to get to a couple of those sites.  I will probably not have that much time, but if I finish my work early I'd be willing to take a detour.
