I went to visit Northern mockingbird nest site early today around 7:10 am to discover parents feeding two fledged young. The adults birds were busy feeding the young - a fine way to start the day birding. To get to the site, simply take Hwy #401 east toward Mississauga and follow the signs to the Airport. At Airport Rd. turn left and continue on Airport Rd. for approx. 10 minutes until you see the signs for the International Convention Centre on the left, or east side of Airport Rd., just before Derry Rd. Turn right into the Convention Centre and drive to the back parking lot. At the far northeast side of the parking lot is a pile of gravel. The nest site and birds are immediately across from there in the mat of vines along the fence bordering the VIA/Go Train tracks.
