3 Northern Flickers were observed near the footpath that runs from Old Finch Avenue parallel to and east of Morningview Trail. The footpath leads to an old orchard where a first year Northern Harrier was observed. A Pileated Woodpecker was heard in the adjacent woodland of the Rouge Valley. The Swamp Sparrow was in a man-made, cattail-filled area near the Rouge River by the hydro lines that cross Staines Road about 1.5 km south of Steeles Ave. Old Finch Avenue runs west of Morningside Ave. in Scarborough, city of Toronto.
