[Ontbirds]Warblers and other migrants - Leslie St Spit, Toronto

[Giraud, Jacques]

I birded the base of the Leslie St Spit in Toronto this morning and
found a good mixture of spring migrants. I saw 52 species in total.
Highlights included solitary sandpiper, Nashville, black and white,
yellow, palm, chestnut-sided, cape may warblers, green heron, Virginia
rail and warbling vireo. The birds were in the flooded forest just past
the entrance.

Good birding

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.
