Three of us took a spin down to Oshawa this morning, to see what was
happening at Second Marsh. Among the highlights of the morning were
VIRGINIA RAIL, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, a single SANDHILL CRANE, COMMON
LOON, T SPARROWS (SAVANNAH, SWAMP, SONG, CHIPPING, AND WHITE-
THROATED), both KINGLETS, BROWN CREEPERS (several), WINTER WREN,
YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER, HERMIT THRUSHES (several), AMERICAN COOT,
PIED-BILL GREBE, RING-NECKED DUCK, BLACK TERNS, BONAPARTE'S GULLS, a
pair of BLUE-WINGED TEAL, another of AMERICAN KESTREL, and a
beautiful pair of RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS doing a courting dance in
the lake offshore.
I'm sure that just being out at any of the good birding sites in the
area today was a glorious release from the chill of the past few
weeks. Good birding to all.
