This morning on the way down Col. Samuel Smith Park I did a quick walk along Mimico Creek and found large flock of Rusty Black feeding on the ground under flood willows. The woods were swarming with Yellow-rumped Warblers (150+) and Hermit Thrushes (50+). Other notable birds included 7 Brown Thrashers; two Magnolia Warblers; 2 Rose-breasted Grosbeak, 2 Gray Catbirds and one Swainson's Thrush. Also 13 Purple Finches.
Directions: the park is located along Martin Grove Road just north Rathburn Road. This sw of the 427 and 401.
