The West Humber Naturalists had a field trip today that started in Kleinburg and ended in the Holland Marsh west of Newmarket. Along Huntington Road west of Kleinburg we had one light-morph Rough-legged Hawk, several Red-tails, three different Northern Mockingbirds, three Horned Larks, a Pileated Woodpecker, and a male Red-bellied Woodpecker. On our way northeast to the Holland Marsh we had excellent looks at an immature Northern Goshawk that was perched near the intersection of Weston Road and the King-Vaughan Line. In the Holland Marsh we had a very white male Snowy Owl on the north side of Woodchopper's Lane, two immature/female Snowies on the north side of Strawberry Lane, then a very darkly marked first year female north of where Keele Street stops at King Street. Many thanks to those who came out, especially Joan Love for letting us hike through her property in Kleinburg and enjoy the many birds at her busy feeders. Should note that - although we did not see it today - Joan had a Northern Flicker there on Wednesday. York Region is north of Toronto and south of Lake Simcoe.
