Hello friendly birders: ? This Friday AM, Roberta McKenzie, Dan Salisbury and I had a pleasant walk in Riverwood Park. To our surprise A SEDGE WREN started singing loudly at the botton of the main trail, where there is a wooden bridge going over a small creek ( "Chappelle Creek" ?) that empties into a marshy area ( between marker 400 and marker 600 on the trail). Should also hear Swamp Sparrow?at this location. ********************************* If you wish to join me ( Luc Fazio) for a FREE Bird walk at the Toronto Island on MONDAY, May 18, you must catch the FIRST ( 8 AM ) ferry to Hanlan's Point. This Bird Walk is sponsored by the T.O.C.. Rain or shine this Bird walk will be from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM *********************************** ?Amongst many other birds at the Riverwood Park there were: ?Warblers: Parula, Canada, Blackburnian, Pine, Nashville,?
