Hey all you Ontbirders and Ontbirdettes,
I just got a call from Greg Thompson of London, telling me he just found a GRAY
CATBIRD in a fairly large flock of AMERICAN ROBINS, in the ravine area of
Highland Woods. It was crossing a dirt path between the two ravines just north
of #80 Highview apartment building, eating Buckthorn Berries with the robins.
Pretty neat winter bird! I don't have time to go for the bird, but if anyone
re-finds it please post.
Highland Woods is located in south London. To access the ravines, travel about
100 m east of wharncliffe on commissioner's, and park in the walk in clinic
plaza on the south side. Walk east a half block, and you will see a path on
your right hand side. Take the path to the ravines which are on both sides of
the path.
This area is full of berry bushes, and is quite extensive so a long search may
be required to find the robins and accompanying catbird.
Best in birding,
Leonard Manning,
London, ON
