Hey folks. So just to further my gf's report for me. I was with some bird
watchers from Richmond Hill today and we checked out the Yellow-throated
Warbler spot in Bronte Harbour. While walking along the breakwall/path forming
the east sided of the harbour one of the ladies yelled from behind me about a
small bird popping up from between the rocks on the boat dock side of the
walkway. I wheeled around only to see the last 2 seconds of the birds flight
across the path and down into the rocks again on the lakeside. I proceeded to
check in amongst the rocks and spish and that same lady and one other gentleman
saw the bird flit by again within the 20 min. we looked for it. At length we
finally gave in and continued on down the lakeshore to look at other birds.
I cannot say that this was the yellow-throated warbler by any means but it was
the right size and shape and acted as though I would imagine a small warbler
struggling for his life would. We seem to be entering a period of deep freeze
so I don't think this bird could last much longer but you never know... there
are huge gaps in the rocks here going down 10 feet or so and the walkway even
has overhangs to which the bird can go under.
Perhaps this was THE bird, perhaps not. Has anyone else encountered any such
birds along this pathway?
Andy
