Hi Ontbirders Today, May 2nd, spent a bit of time birding along Chaffeys Lock and Opinicon Road enroute to Pt. Pelee. The number of birds have definitely increased since my visit on April 28th. We had 10 warbler species including 1 Cerulean and 1 Golden-winged. Also 5 Yellow-throated Vireo, 2 Wood Thrush and 3 Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Good birding, Bruce Directions: Chaffeys Lock/Opinicon Road: Opinicon Road is north of Kingston. From Hwy. 401 take county road 10 (exit 617) north towards Westport for about 20 kilometres. Roughly 1 or 2 kms. past Perth Road Village on the right is Opinicon Road. Turn right and drive towards Chaffeys Lock making regular stops along the way to listen. Anywhere along Opinicon Road is can be good. The old railway line or the Rideau Trail system opposite Skycroft Campgrounds are great for birding. From Ottawa take Hwy. 417 west to Hwy.7 to Carleton Place. Turn left onto Hwy.15 and follow past Smiths Falls and continue towards Kingston. After passing Crosby start watching for Chaffeys Lock Road on your right.
