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!
