Ojibway Visitor's Centre Windsor, ON April 8, 2003 Increasing temperatures today inspired me to venture out after the recent snowfall (seems I might be a fairweather birder). I am glad I did. I had assumed the snow would have diminished sightings but to my surprise I had several First of Seasons today!
FOS: Brownheaded Cowbird Eastern Towhee Tufted Titmouse Fox Sparrow Louisianna Waterthrush (life list!!! .. Im still new to this :) ) At one point I was able to view 4 sparrow species at one time; Song, Fox, White Throated and Am. Tree. Some of the common birds are becoming more abundant. For instance in my view finder, on a bare patch of grass, 5 Common Flickers. Flickers were quite numerous today. Robins also were more numerous than in the last week. That's the hilights today, happy birding. Mark Conlon Lasalle, Ontario "Mark Conlon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
