Thickson's Woods is in full leaf, forcing birders to listen carefully. On Friday, May 21 morning several people (names not known) reported a Worm-eating Warbler in the trees along the south side. While botanizing for an hour I managed to pick out the following birds--ad.male Scarlet Tanager, Philadelphia Vireo, Red-eyed Vireo, Least Flycatcher, Swainson's Thrush, and the following other Warblers--Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, Black-throated Blue, Blackburnian, Wilson's, Canada, Yellow-rumped, Yellow, American Redstart AND several Mournings.
Exit 401 onto Thickson Rd.S. in se Whitby, south to the lakefront and back north, parking on the east side--walk down the roadway that separates the woods from the meadow.
