Just an update for those who need one for these GTA birds: the male Cerulean Warbler was still singing and showing well just east of the lakeshore footbridge at Paletta Park in Burlington this morning (10:00-11:00) and the Yellow-breasted Chat (though not singing at all) was still present at the westernmost point of the walking trails at Ashbridges Bay in Toronto at 6:00 p.m.
Paletta Park had a nice variety of warblers - 16 species that I counted, including the Cerulean, a Blue-winged, Cape May & Blackpoll - and four Orchard Orioles. Colonel Sam Smith Park in Etobicoke was also busy with birds. I dipped on the Golden-winged Warbler reported there this morning but lucked into an Orange-crowned (thanx Bob), two Canadas (thanx Robert), and another Blackpoll, among 15 warbler species (pour moi).
