X-BeenThere: ontbirds@hwcn.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: Ian Cannell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2004 13:09:13 -0000 A quick outing to the Long Point area yesterday (Wednesday, June 23), by Jay Peterson and yours truly, provided some pleasant birding, although the mosquitos were numerous on the forest trails. Highlights, among the 73 species observed, included both a male and a female Prairie Warbler (separate sightings, several hundred meters apart), and a Brewster's and a Blue-Winged Warbler, (both at the same location), plus several other more common species of warbler. We saw several Black-billed Cuckoos and enjoyed the beauty of Scarlet Tanagers, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Indigo Buntings. At Big Creek, there were a couple of Black Terns. "Old Cut" was pretty quiet, except for the hum of mosquitos, but a Carolina Wren was singing mightily there. Most of the birds seen were on the 6th Concession, north of Long Point, or on the trails that lead off from that road. Ian Cannell Concord, Ontario.
