Lower Don Parklands Early Migrants and Waterfowl

Lower Don Parklands Early Migrants and Waterfowl

Date and time: Sunday, April 26, 8 am - 12 pm

Leader: Kevin Seymour

Description: Join us on an outing through the Lower Don Parklands in East York to look for early migrants including Eastern Phoebe, Kinglets, Hermit Thrush and possibly a few early warblers. The route will include the Cottonwood Flats, the Sun Valley Loop and part of Crother's Woods. If there is time we can visit Crother's Pond which is pretty reliable in that season for Wood Ducks. 

Accessibililty:  The majority of the paths are wide, flat and easy, and maintained by the city. The Sun Valley loop has gravel and two steep sections, only one of them paved. Access to the location, if walking, includes quite a steep walk down and then up Bechwood Drive to exit.

What to bring: Water, snacks, footwear for possible muddy paths, binoculars

Directions:

By car, park at the bottom of Beechwood Dr., just beyond the Police Dog Services compound.

By TTC, take any 100, 25 or 8 bus northbound from Broadview station, get off at the Beechwood exit (the one before the Pape exit), then walk down Beechwood Ave and meet the group just beyond the Police Dog Services Compound.

Please note: Registration is required for all walks. Space is limited, please cancel your registration if you are unable to attend.
