Great finds, particularly the Ovenbirds. It's a bit out of the way, but I'm going to try to check Trinity Bellwoods out on my way to work sometime this week. Not sure if the location is convenient for you, but Queen's Park is another really good dowtown park.

Yeah, I was surprised I didn't' get so many warblers today, considering what was found in QP. I used to go there a year or two ago, but then I moved, and now TBP is closer. TBP can be tricky, cause it is so large, and so you need to find where the birds are aggregating. The western side of the park is generally better, since there are some areas with denser foliage there for the song birds to hide in. Good luck!
