This morning a whip-poor-will was found in Thickson Woods. In a large scrub pile west of the small boardwalk, it was perched on a relatively low, open branch, giving excellent views.
Other notable birds viewed included Wood Thrush, Willow Flycatcher, Ovenbird, Black-Throated Blue Warbler and Palm Warbler.
Directions ( from previous posts ):
Leave Hwy.401 at Thickson Road, Exit 412 and go south to the Waterfront
Trial, running east just north of the woods.
The entrance to the woods is 200m east of Thickson Road, on the south side
of the Waterfront Trail, with entrance to the Meadow opposite. Please note
that there is now no parking on the Waterfront Trail. Birders are requested
to park on the east side of Thickson Road, north of the trail.
