While walking the trails at the Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary near Ingleside (20 minutes west of Cornwall) today, I spotted three large flocks of Bohemian Waxwings in migration. There was no indication the birds had been feeding anywhere in the vicinity and the flocks followed one another by less than a minute. They didn't land and all were headed north. The numbers were difficult to judge but between 400-500 would be a conservative estimate, which should count as one of the largest sightings in the south this year. For those interested in Snow Geese, we're still waiting. There should be an initial movement at some point this week based on past records.
