Today's OFO outing to the Toronto Islands was attended by 26 birders. The majority of these 26 persisted throughout the day (although our numbers thinned a bit after word got out about the Chat at Colonel Sam Smith Park) and were treated to a collective total of 96 species (95 + crow sp.). The undoubted highlight was the young male Summer Tanager on Algonquin Island, spotted by Eric Baldo. Other good birds included a Clay-coloured Sparrow (found earlier in the day by Ruth Danella) and a cooperative Sora.
