At 12:40 this afternoon I observed a Sandhill Crane flying over Upper Canada College at St. Clair and Avenue Rd, in Toronto. It was not particularly high up and it was heading due west.
Upper Canada College is located just north on St Clair on Avenue road in midtown Toronto.

At least 1 Hooded Warbler was singing and easily seen near the sightings book or along the path north from there behind the houses. A Blue-winged Warbler seemed to be favouring the beaver pond area on Corbett Creek, feeding in the willows.. New arrivals or birds seen in increasing numbers today included Indigo Bunting [ 3 in the meadow], White -crowned Sparrow [many along the meadow edge], Chestnut-sided Warbler, and Ruby-throated Hummingbird. Directions [from Dennis Barry] To reach Thickson's Woods exit from 401 to Thickson Road South in Whitby. Proceed south past Wentworth Street to the Waterfront Trail. Turn left, turn around and park on the north side of the road. 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.
