The breeding plumaged Cattle Egret found yesterday afternoon by Peter Yoerg remains in Gasline. I saw the bird at 0720 this morning feeding in the same field where it was found by Peter. Gasline is about two-thirds of the way to Port Colborne from Fort Erie on Highway # 3. This field is directly opposite house number 3222 Highway #3. While there were no cattle present, the bird was feasting on insects along a fence line running through the middle of the field in company with a number of Ring-billed Gulls.
Good luck if you go.

In fact the numbers have fluctuated between one and four adult birds. I have taken several good images. A couple of nights ago I watched two of them as they were flycatching. The birds took large winged insects and then stashed their prey in the crevices of the huge dying cottonwood in the vacant lot across the street from my house. Unfortunately, this tree is slotted to come down over the winter.

Pleasant Cemetery. I first heard it singing and after 5 minutes of searching in the canopy I spotted the bird and was able to observe for another 10 minutes before I had to leave. I was able to clearly observe the distinctive white eye ring. The Connecticut was foraging throughout the canopy of a tree approximately 8 - 10 m tall. The exact location was at the north end of the east section of the cemetery (east section of MPC is between Mt. Pleasant and Bayview) along a section bordered by a tall concrete block fence (for those who know the cemetery it was just west of the children's school on the opposite side of the fence). Attila Fust Directions: The car entrance to the east section of the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery is off of Mt. Pleasant Road (375 Mount Pleasant Road, Toronto Ontario) just north of Moore. Ave.
