Just wanted to let you know that the Rosy Finch was at the feeder this morning
for some time, around 10.AM. I had not seen it since Monday.
One of your subscribers was up from Toronto, saw it, and will send a proper
report.

My family along with John Carley finally were able to
make the trek up to Chelmsford today to try for the
finch. We arrived at the Somerset home at around 9:40
a.m. and spoke to Mr. Somerset who indicated he had
not seen the bird since Monday. Persistence paid off
and we were rewarded with excellent looks at around
10:00 a.m. The bird came in from the left(looking at
the house) and stayed for about 15 minutes moving
among the varous seed feeders. We saw it again at
around 10:30 a.m. before heading back to Toronto.

Hi,
My wife, daughter, her friend and I were on March Valley Road in the
west end of Ottawa from about 3:30-5:00pm today and had 6 great-gray owl
sightings - saw two on the eastern section, two in the middle section
and two at the western section of the road. Someone told us they saw
some turkeys around the western-most end of the road but we weren't
lucky enough to have seen them - we did see four deer in that end,
though. First time my wife has seen owls in the wild so the trip was
well worth it.

Greetings everyone,
Late today I made a run to the St. Clair River. There were several hundred
gulls from Sombra to Lambton Generating Station. Most were off Terra
Industries, a few kilometres north of Sombra.
25 (approx.) Glaucous Gulls (mostly adults). (a good vantage point is
Cathcart Park--well marked)
1 Iceland (adult) off Cathcart Park
1 Lesser Black-backed (adult) off Cathcart Park.
Ducks were few and spread out.
After sunrise or late afternoon are the best times to observe concentrations
of gulls. The situation varies from day to day (some days hardly
anything!).
As a note of interest, last Friday off the Sarnia waterfront late in the day
were about 30 Glaucous Gulls among about 1000 gulls. I observed these while
standing in one spot just south of Centennial Park. It was rather
impressive, if not some sort of record for Glaucous Gulls at one spot!
Directions to Sombra and St. Clair River: Find Hwy 40 that runs N/S between
Wallaceburg and Sarnia. Turn west on Lambton Rd. 2 (Bentpath Line) and take
to Sombra on the St. Clair River. Fawn Island is just to the south of the
village. The St. Clair Parkway (Rd. 33) follows the river along its length.
Cathcart Park is north of Sombra, almost across from the Detroit Edison
Plant.
