On a tip from Garth Riley while birding Colonel Samuel Smith Park this
morning of two two Blue-winged Warblers at West Deane Park, I arrived at the
park at 11:00 am and found a male Blue-winged Warbler and a pair (male and
female) Golden-winged Warbler. Earlier (6:00-6:30 am) on my way up to CSSP I
stopped there and found 5 species of warbler including 3 American Redstarts and
1 male Magnolia Warbler.
Directions:
The park is located on the west side of Martin Grove Road just north of
Rathburn Road which is west of Hwy #427 and south of Hwy #401. The dirt path
both the Blue-winged Warbler and Golden-winged Warblers went along the west
side of Mimico Creek (right after the pedestrian bridge). The BWW was found at
the top of Black Locust tree about 200 yards from the bridge; the GWWs were
found feeding in weeping willow on the east side of the creek about 800 yards
from the pedestrian (and just before a small cedar-spruced grove.)
