Ontbirds subscribers, On a late afternoon visit to Humber Bay Park, I saw both the Killdeer and Great Blue Heron mentioned earlier as seen on today's OFO trip by Dave Milsom. They were both standing in the warm water outflow from the east bank of Mimico Creek, just south of the Lakeshore Blvd. W. bridge over the creek. A little further north on Mimico Creek, just north of the abandoned strip mall, were another Great Blue Heron, an immature Black-crowned Night-Heron and a Winter Wren. One can access this area by following the west side of the creek from in behind the abandoned strip mall just west of Mimico Creek on the north side of Lakeshore Blvd. W. (staying on the creek side of the new fenceline where land is being cleared for yet more condominium construction). A little south of the white bridge connecting the east and west halves of Humber Bay Park, a Common Yellowthroat responded to my pishing near the large Phragmites stand. In the strong winds at the time, it did not stay out in the open for very long. A Yellow-rumped Warbler was also seen in the pines on the south perimeter of the Humber Bay Park East parking lot. Humber Bay Park and the mouth of Mimico Creek are found just south of the intersection of Lakeshore Blvd. W. and Parklawn Rd. in south Etobicoke.
