Thickson Woods provided fox sparrow (2) on the western end of the park, several
golden-crowned kinglet and a winter wren. The woods
were extremely quiet otherwise. A pair of blue-winged teals were in the marsh.
Lynde Shores provided a field sparrow and American Tree Sparrow. I found a
great blue heron, 6 hooded mergansers and 1 common
merganser.
Cranberry Marsh provided northern pintail, blue-winged teal, green-winged teal,
ring-necked duck, northern harrier, red-tailed hawk,
swamp sparrow, song sparrow, golden crowned kinglet and ruby-crowned kinglet.
To reach Thickson's Woods exit from 401 to Thickson Road South in Whitby.
Proceed south past Wentworth Street to the Waterfront
Trail. At the moment you will need to park on Thickson Road and walk east
along the Waterfront Trail. Enter the woods on a path
from the south side, about 200 metres east of Thickson Road. Follow the trails
through the woods, some of which access the Lake
Ontario shore. To view the beaver pond and Corbett Creek Marsh continue east
about 100 metres past the entrance to the woods. The
meadow is across the Waterfront Trail immediately north of the woods. The
entrance is directly across the waterfront trail from the
entrance to the woods. To view a map, visit the Thickson's Woods website at
