At 3:00 p.m. an American Woodcock landed about ten feet away from me in the dead leaves among the trees up the small hill to the west of the washrooms in Ashbridges Bay Park. It stayed for about five seconds and then flew away low down due south. Did not find it again.
The beach is flooded again, as in 2017, so hope for some great shorebirds in the next few weeks. David Selley Ashbridges Bay Park is at the foot of Coxwell Avenue. At the lights at Lakeshore Blvd continue on Ashbridges Bay Park Road, take the first right to the large parking lot where the boat ramps are. Walk due south from the parking lot into the park. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
