After reading David Pyror's post I went to try my luck at West Dean Park. I did not find the Kentucky as previously posted but I did find a male Prothonotary Warbler. He was high up in the tree which is not where I expected to see one. This was around 11 am
The bird was seen on the west side of Mimico Creek (across the bridge at the Martingrove Parking lot) and about 300 yards north on the path that runs parallel to the creek. Additional warblers to David's post were Tennessee, Parula and Bay Breasted Unfortunately it started to rain so I had leave before I had a chance to see if the Kentucky was still in the area. There was a good party of many species of warblers there. Directions from David's post. The West Deane/Ravenscrest/Hampshire Heights/Echo Valley park system comprises the Mimico Creek Ravine and runs between Kipling/Burnhamthorpe streets in the south throught to Eglinton Avenue & Hwy. 427 in the north. Directions from downtown Toronto: Gardiner Expressway West, north on Hwy 427, Rathburn Road offramp west to Martingrove Road, left (north) on Martingrove to West Dean Park parking lot on left (west) side of road.
