_______________________________ Saw an unusual yellow-rump with a yellow throat. Checked it out with another birder who called it an Audubon's but when I returned it had flown. Please keep an eye out in the European spruces just south of the Jean Tweed House. Definitely not magnolia. Wish I was a photographer.
Also...Possible yellow-throated warbler just south of Jean Tweed House along eastern fence in maples. Did not get a long look but familiar with this bird from southern U.S. - Georgia, and the throat colour is very distinctive. Female blackburnian has a similar yellow but not the marked black patterning on the head that was seen. ALSO: E. Bluebird, Orchard Oriole, Scarlet Tanager, BH Vireo, Hermit thrush, Linc. sparrow Warblers: Blue-winged, Nash.,parula, yellow, chestnut-s., Cape May, black-thr. blue and green, yellow-rump, blackburnian, redstart, ovenbird, N. waterthrush. Most found north-east of "bowl" along Lakeshore. Blue-winged in little bowl on eastern edge of park. Marc Lichtenberg Sam Smith Park is located at the foot of Kipling Av. in Toronto. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
