I sent this out this morning but it must have gotten lost in the server transfer at Ontbirds .. so here it is again ...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Lots of activity at Thickson's this morning ... One Vesper Sparrow at 4th last most easterly cottage and in the woods ... Winter & Carolina Wren, 35-40 WW Crossbills, Great Horned Owl and a N. Mockingbird Northern Parula, found by Dan Kaczynski, was last seen December 15th ... if anyone sees it again pls report it to Ontbirds since for some reason the sightings on the 14th and 15th were not posted ... thx P.S. for the record keepers, the last date for the Avocet at Ajax was Dec 4th, not 5th as reported elsewhere on Ontbirds a few days ago ... Thickson's Woods can be reached by exiting 401 at Thickson Rd and going south to the lake ... remember that the road into the cottages/houses is private so pls respect the privacy of the owners.
