Hi there, Today (24 April) at 1:00 PM, I observed a Yellow Palm Warbler (hypocrysea) along a trail within Maple Hill Park. I have X'd the spot on the trail where I observed the bird. All-round good spring birding throughout the trail system and along the adjacent Rideau River: Yellow-rumped Warbler (4), Hermit Thrush (3), Pine Warbler (2), Winter Wren (2), Northern Rough-winged Swallow (2), etc.
Directions: From Prince of Wales Dr., head east on Maplehill Way (which is just N of Prince of Wales/Jockvale), from Maplehill Way, head N (left) on Hazelwood Way. Park at the dead end on Hazelwood Way. Take trail system N, roughly 600 m. The Yellow Palm was on the E side of the trail, foraging at eye level, with several Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Good birding, Jon Ruddy http://jonruddy.blogspot.ca/ _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
