[ONTBIRDS] Varigated Flycatcher location
Birders- The VAFL is seen the majority of the time on the side of a ravine. It is sometimes seen at the top of the ravine which is the open field edge behind the parking lot and past the white tower. It is also seen at the bottom of the ravine which is edged by the trail previously described by others, which starts by travelling over the wooden bridge west of the skate board area. That trail eventually goes uphill to the field. I also found it by walking back towards the bridge, on the stream side of the trail. So, that's 3 places between 3pm and 4:30.

[ONTBIRDS] Variegated Flycatcher location
Hey everyone, For those using OntBirds for info, I thought I would include directions to this bird, as I have not seen them posted yet. As Ken Burrell stated this morning, the flycatcher is at approximately 43.951619, -78.954734. It seems to favour the slope on the east side of the trail. Some patience is required as the bird seems to disappear for short periods of time before showing itself again. It seems alert and was feeding while observed this afternoon. The bird is near Luther Vipond Brooklin Memorial Arena in the town of Brooklin, ON. The arena is just east of Hwy 12 on Winchester Rd. E. You can park at the arena. There is a paved trail SW of the arena that crosses a small bridge, then winds south toward where the bird is. Good luck!
