Birded GTA with Luke Berg today. At 10.30 am saw the Painted Bunting in the magnolia tree at #3 Arkendo, off Lakeshore Blvd. in Oakville. Then viewed it through the neighbour's hedge at the feeder. A quick stop at Sedgewick Park (off Lakeshore further west) produced Tennessee, Orange-crowned, Wilson's, 2 Yellow-rumped Warblers, Winter Wren and House Finches. We parked in the Jehovah's Witness Church parking lot (do not use this on Sundays). At the suspension bridge at Humber Bay Park East in Toronto at the foot of Park Lawn Road off the Lakeshore, the 1st-year male King Eider gave great views. Also there were C. Goldeneyes, Long-tailed Ducks, Ruddy Ducks, Gadwall, Hooded Merganser, etc. Our final stop at the Don River/Don Valley Parkway and Lakeshore Blvd. in Toronto for the Black & White Warbler was unsuccessful despite searching for 75 minutes. But we did find there 25 Robins, a Mockingbird and a White-throated Sparrow.
