Hi Ontbirders,
Visited Petrie Island this morning (Tuesday, 5 April) with Dave Minns & found
one male Redhead swimming on the Ottawa River to the east of the island. It
was with four Scaup (seemingly Lesser). Also near the beach area were a male &
female Brown-headed Cowbird, one Eastern Phoebe, & about 16 Hooded Mergansers.

Directions: take Hwy 417 east (towards Montreal) as far as the "split" & then
follow Hwy 174 (towards Rockland). Continue on Hwy 174 past 10th Line to Trim
Road & turn left (north). Follow the road over the bridge to the public
parking area.

Hello Ontbirders,
Today, April 5, Jim McCoy and I had a Louisiana Waterthrush on the Woodlands
Trail between markers 15 and 16. It had been reported by another birder
earlier and we were able to relocate it. Other birds of note were an
Eastern Towhee and a Red-headed Woodpecker at the Point. Eastern Phoebes in
good numbers, numerous Golden-crowned Kinglets, a few Ruby-crowned, numerous
Yellow-shafted Flickers, numerous Downy Woodpeckers, Chipping Sparrows, Song
Sparrows, a few Tree Sparrows, the first female Red-winged Blackbirds I have
seen, Tree Swallows.
A couple of Great Egrets were in Mud Creek at Wheatly.
Woodlands Trail is behind the Interperative Centre.
Mud Creek is on Deer Run Road just west of Kent Rd. 1 at the south end of
Wheatly.
cheers,
Claude Radley
Tilbury
