This morning, Saturday, May 14, a Swainson's Warbler was observed along Linear Trail, Cambridge (Preston), ON, downstream 70+m of the confluence of the Grand and Speed rivers for about 3 minutes by Jerry Guenther and Bill Wilson at approximately 8:30 a.m. Bird was about 15' away from us at eye level. I am familiar with this species in U.S. and one at this location on May 6, 1980 (!). I will post if refound.
Hwy 401 exit # 278, Highway 8 to Cambridge-Preston. Proceed along King Street to Westminster Drive. Turn right at lights and follow Westminster to end at Riverside Drive and confluence of the rivers. Note benches and signage along trail at the confluence. Bird was observed just downstream of the Coughlin Memorial bench.
