As many birders likely do, I turned a 15-minute errand into a 90-minute drive this morning just to see what might be out and about in the bird world. There was a grey adult Ruffed Grouse foraging in the ditch along St. John's Sideroad just west of Kennedy Road, a grey juvenile Northern Shrike on the Vandorf Sideroad just east of Woodbine Avenue, and a brown juvenile Northern Shrike perched on the west side of Yonge Street just north of St. John's Sideroad (where all the construction of new townhomes is going on across from Savage Road).
Aurora is straight north from Toronto, one of a string of suburban towns along Yonge Street. It is about halfway between Toronto and Barrie. Ron Fleming "Ronald J. Fleming" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
