For those of you who are still hoping to see this bird. It was present today from at least 1:30 - 2:20 PM. It was roosting and preening on a large branch, on the north-east portion of the island in the large pond (with the viewing platform). The bird was best seen from the gravel path which runs north and south on the east side of the pond. Enter a partial clearing (the most northern access point) and look west. I have seen it here previously so it appears to be one of its preferred roosting areas.
Directions: Head south on Kipling Avenue from the Gardiner Expressway until you reach the parking lot at the south end of Kipling. Walk east past the entrance to the viewing platform and keep left until you are heading north. The bird was seen from the third clearing on your left while walking north. This clearing is somewhat obscured by trees but is readily accessible. Good luck, Garth Riley Etobicoke, Ontario [email protected] _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
