Hello, Ontbirders:
This morning, at times in heavy rain, 3 OFO members joined the 4 leaders for the annual OFO Leslie Street Spit Field Trip in Toronto. 23 species were tallied in one hour of birding at the Wet Woods, another 28 species were noted in 75 minutes at Ashbridge's Bay Park, where again the flooding has created great shorebird habitat. The cumulative species total was 38. Notable were 2 Fish Crow, heard and seen at Ashbridge's, along with 95 Dunlin and 1 Semipalmated Sandpiper at the flooded beach. Good birding, John Carley, Garth Riley, Nancy McPherson, and Bob Cumming www.friendsofthespit.ca <http://www.friendsofthespit.ca> Friends of the Spit: Celebrating 42 years: since 1977, Friends has been advocating for the entire Leslie Street Spit and Baselands to be a car-free Public Urban Wilderness. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
