Of late few of us have elected to put in an Ontbirds report for Thickson's.  I do hope someones will do so while I am up on the Bruce Peninsula from May 21 to 26 incl.  

As we all await this evening's showers, hopefully to bring in some migrants overnight, let me mention some of the highlight birds along the periphery of Thickson's Woods in southwest Whitby, during the morns of May 13 and 14--that is, the best spots were a) northwest corner cedar hedge area at the west end of the feeder trail, b)in the high trees of the south-central area, c)along the car-park roadway, and d)in the southeast corner near the wetland.
