I spent a very soggy hour and a half circulating in the Wet Woods in the north west sector of the park. The fog descended and seemed to push the warblers down:
    
   Ovenbird   
   Northern Waterthrush  
   Yellow Warbler  
   Palm Warbler  
   Black-throated Green  
   Black-throated Blue  
   Black-and-white  
   Chestnut-sided  
   Yellow-rumped  
   Cape May  
   Northern Parula  
   Tennessee  
   Palm
  Others:
   
    
   Gray Catbird  
   Brown Thrasher  
   Solitary Sandpiper  
   Wilsons Snipe  
   American Woodcock  
   Wood Thrush  
   Blue-gray Gnatcatcher  
   Brown Creeper  
   Blue-headed Vireo  
   Least Flycatcher  
   Rusty Blackbird  
   Eastern Meadowlark  
   American Bittern (North end of Wet Woods in swampy field)  
   Rose-breasted Grosbeak
  Tommy Thompson Park (Leslie Street Spit) is at the south end of Leslie Street in Toronto where it meets Lake Ontario. The Wet Woods are reached by walking south west about 200 yards along informal trails. It is quite damp and rubber boots would be useful.
