This morning (Sun. Apr. 30) I saw six species of warbler at Little River in Windsor. These included at least ten each of Yellow-Rumped and Palm Warblers, three Yellow Warblers, and individuals of Black and White, Black-throated Green, and Cape May Warblers. Other notable birds included a Winter Wren foraging on an apparent mineral lick on the riverbank, and my first Bank Swallows of the year.
Little River is the wooded area around the oxbow of Little River. It is accessible from the end of Little River Blvd. in Windsor.

Birding was slow until a turkey vulture flew overhead, then the birds starting becoming active. I saw 30 species in total including blue-grey gnatcatcher (1), blue-headed vireo (2), yellow-rumped warblers (16), black-and-white warbler (3), palm warbler (3), house wren (1) and an American Kestrel. There is lots of shorebird habitat but only a single killdeer was on the flat and very few ducks. The majority of birds were seen off the first side trail on the right when you head west on the main trail. Its located just past the pumping station. Rattray Marsh is located at the foot of Bexhill Road, south of Lakeshore Road in Mississauga. Good birding Jacques Giraud
