My family and I are camping at Presqu'ile so when we heard of the Ibis in
Brighton, we ran over to try and see it.
Lucky for us, the Ibis was feeding in the open and did 2 short flights as we
watched around 11:45.
Also saw the Osprey on the nest across the marsh and a good look at a
Black-crowned Night Heron being harassed by RW Blackbirds as it flew over.

Don Sands here...
My earlier post failed to mention the time for the Nelson's Sharp-tailed
Sparrow? sighting. It was Saturday afternoon, June 16.
Other birds of interest noted that afternoon:
Pheasants. Several were heard calling. Two near the east end of the zone and
two at Lynde Shores' Levay Trail area.
Marsh Wren. At the storm pond east of Lynde Shores. (The one with a trail
going around the pond.) This is along the subdivision walk east of the marsh.
The wren was singing vigorously.
Black-crowned Night Heron at the East end of the Lynde Shores marsh, in
flight.
Bobolinks at Lynde Shores' Levay Trail; Several observed, both sexes.
Also noted:
Yellow Iris were in full bloom in the Lynde Shores marsh, very notable along
the board walk.

This morning at 7:30 I saw the Dickcissels again in the same field as in my
previous posting. There are two males singing in the field about 50m from the
road. A scope may help for a good view. Also in the same field is a singing
Grasshopper Sparrow, very difficult to hear from the road.
Also, I found another singing Dickcissel about 5 km from the above location.
Directions: Ferndale is between Wiarton and Tobermory on Hwy 6 in the middle
of the Bruce Peninsula. At the intersection in Ferndale go west (I think it is
called Burma Road) for about 1km. The birds were singing near the road and in
the field to the south side 50m and 100m before the hay bales wrapped in white
plastic.

My apologies for the lateness of this post. The information contained
should still be completely relevant.
Yesterday morning turned out to be a good one for seeing some of
Ottawa's scarcer breeding birds.
An earlyish (7:30 AM) visit to the wet grassy field on the north side of
#4104 Torbolton Ridge Rd found the Sedge Wrens in good voice, with
several singing. One particularly cooperative individual that was
relatively close to the road frequently perched in the open for superb
views with the scope. At one point a Black-billed Cuckoo flew by at this
spot.
After a bit of a search I was able to locate an adult Red-headed
Woodpecker at the Old Burn site in Constance Bay. The bird was not in
the Old Burn itself but in the adjacent woods. Heading north on the dirt
track that is the continuation of Whistler past the Richie intersection,
do not take the path on the left that goes directly into the burned
area, but instead take the path on the left that's 100-200 metres
further down. At one point this path divides, with the left-hand fork
going towards the back of some cottages and the right-hand one heading
deeper into the woods. The bird was on the latter fork a few metres in.
There was also an adult male Pileated feeding an apparently recently
fledged juvenile male pileated in the same spot.
Back on the Dunrobin Rd I was pleasantly surprised to see 3 Upland
Sandpipers a few hundred metres south of the turnoff to Constance Bay.
They were perched on posts on the east side of Dunrobin.
By the time I got to the Bill Mason Centre it was 10AM and already hot.
There wasn't too much action here but I did see what I assume was a
Willow Flycatcher among the Alders. It was close by and giving a soft
"whit" call, but it refused to "fitzbew" for me.
Paul Matthews, Ottawa
Directions: Take 417 west, exit north onto March Rd, go 7 km or so,
Dunrobin Rd is on the right. Several kms to the north, Torbolton Ridge
parallels the Dunrobin Rd 2 roads over to the west. #4104 is a few
hundred metres south of Kilmaurs Side Rd. The Bill Mason Centre is
behind West Carleton Secondary School on the east side of Dunrobin Rd
north of the Thomas Dolan Parkway.

THE OFNC BIRD STATUS LINE, 6:30 am, MONDAY JUNE 18, 2007
This is Chris Lewis reporting.
A quiet week, as is typical for this time of year. A lone Brant has
been hanging
out with the Canada Geese on the lawn at the Remic rapids lookout parking lot
all week and still appeared content here on the 16th. A visit to the
Marais aux Grenouillettes west of Masson, Quebec on the 16th
yielded several good species including Pied-billed Grebe with young,
American Bittern, LEAST BITTERN, Common Moorhen, a thriving BLACK TERN
colony, 7 species of flycatchers including both Alder and Willow, and both
House Wren and Marsh Wren. LEAST BITTERNS were also heard along County
Rd. 14 south of Perth on the 9th and in the marsh north of the Nepean
Equestrian Park on the 10th.
The Carp Hills along the Thomas Dolan Parkway was a good place to find
Whip-poor-will and displaying American Woodcocks during the week, and a
Common Nighthawk was heard in downtown Ottawa on the evening of the
16th. The most interesting songbird reports came from the Larose forest
where a YELLOW-THROATED VIREO was discovered in the woods along a trail
west off Nine Mile Rd. on the 8th and several CAPE MAY WARBLERS have been
seen and heard in a White Spruce stand along Nine Mile Rd. south of
Clarence-Cambridge Rd. for the past couple of weeks.
Thank you - Good Birding!
