This morning (October 3) between 9:00am and 1:00pm, I experienced a fallout of migrants at High Park with large numbers of many species in the vicinity of Colborne Lodge on the main road at the south entrance. Since I was restricted to one small area, there are no doubt significant numbers of birds in the park today. I am providing rough estimates of the number of birds counted. High counts: Yellow-rumped Warbler - 75+ I estimate that there are probably hundreds within the park Nashville Warbler - 40+ Blackpoll Warbler - 30+ Tennessee Warbler - 15+ (a few were singing) Red-breasted Nuthatch - 30+ White-breasted Nuthatch - 15+ Black-capped Chickadee - very abundant Ruby-crowned Kinglet - 8 Golden-crowned Kinglet - 5 American Robin - very abundant Other notables: Common Goldeneye - one flyby (early) Brown Creeper - 4 Swainson's Thrush - 2 Gray Catbird - 1 Blue-headed Vireo - 1 American Redstart - 2 Black-throated Green Warbler - 4 Orange-crowned Warbler - 2 Scarlet Tanager - 3 White-throated Sparrow - a fair number Purple Finch - 2 (male and female) American Goldfinch - only 1 Also a good day for woodpeckers: Downy Woodpecker - 35+ (2 landed on me while I was birding) Hairy Woodpecker - 2 Northern Flicker - 15+ Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - 7 (mostly juveniles) High Park is located at the west end of Toronto near Keele and Bloor. The main entrance is on the south side of Bloor, or you can access the park via the Queensway on its south end at Queensway and Colborne.
