Sun, Jan 31

This is a small forest surrounding a water treatment plant in Oakville. The trail leads through the forest and around the plant where the open water keeps a warmer microclimate through the winter. The insects that survive here are sometimes found to support passerines that haven't migrated.

Hello Pipits!
This SUNDAY we will visit the area around a small sewage lagoon in downtown Oakville, Sedgewick Forest.
This area typically has unusual overwintering birds, due to the warmth given off the lagoons, and the insects that survive the winter in this micro-climate.
I saw my very first Orange-crowned Warbler here during a winter a few years ago.
We will meet in the parking lot of Patricia-Picknell Elementary School, at 9am.
