Multiple observers are reporting the Variegated Flycatcher along the
Brooklin Lions Wilderness Trail  is present again this morning as of 0745
November 17.

Directions: Brooklin is in the north end of Whitby. From the intersection
of County Rd 12 (Baldwin Street) and Hwy 7 (which becomes County Rd
3/Winchester Rd to the east) go east for about 500 m to the Luther Vipond
Memorial Arena. Parking is available here. Walk south towards the large
white communications tower turning west (right) after the tennis courts and
skate park. There is a trail immediately west of here that goes over a
short wooden bridge. Follow this trail for about 400 m when it opens up a
bit and there is a bench. The flycatcher spent most of yesterday in this
general area, sometimes moving up the slope on the east side of the trail,
visible from the field on the other side. Approximate location:

Please consider wearing a mask while viewing the bird, especially if crowds
are forming.

Good birding,

Mike Burrell
