With the start of May, we are right in the middle of peak bird migration! We are still a little bit behind where we were at this time last year, but things look to be changing this week, with temperatures set to rise dramatically by late this week.
Today I was in Thickson's Woods after work in Whitby, and I finally saw a few species of warblers in one spot, including black-and-white, nashville, yellow-rumped and palm warbler as well as blue-gray gnatcatcher and numerous other migrants. I snapped a few shots for you to enjoy:

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher at Thickson's Woods. I like the angry face! |
I should have some really good material to post early next week. I am heading to Pelee Island from Thursday to Sunday to do some all day, every day birding! I can't wait!
