I had the opportunity to bird an area new to me day - albeit the timing was bad (mid-day on a hot sunny June day) but lots of song ensued ... full list follows but the highlight for me was the displaying Red-shouldered Hawk in full "song" ... excellent The Durham East Cross Forest can be reached by going north from Bowmanville or south from Blackstock on Cty 57 to Cty 20 and then east to Murphy Road then straight north to the parking lot and trail entrance.
