Hi All,
I was lucky enough to see the Fork-tailed Flycatcher in Tommy Thompson Park this evening from about 6:30 to 7:30. It was found on a dead tree in the middle of some phragmites in the 2nd Cell. It was observed sallying multiple times.
Tommy Thompson Park is in Toronto, and can be accessed off Leslie St. To get to the Flycatcher spot, travel about 2k to the fork in the road, then turn left. Continue .5ishk to a gravel path on the right side of the path. Turn right down the narrow gravel path. If you come to the fish bridge, you are on the wrong path.
Good birding,

No Fork-Tailed Flycatcher at the Spit today - Monday - I searched from
11:30am-1:30pm in and around the location reported yesterday and was unable
to re-find the Flycatcher. Others searching said they had not seen it the
two hours previous, either. If anyone else goes searching, please keep the
rest of us updated. Directions in numerous previous posts are very precise.
Thanks,
Rick
