I was up on the Trent River today near Hastings in Northumberland County. Over the course of a couple of hours several small waves of migrant passerines were moving southwards towards Rice Lake. Included were Warbling Vireo, Ovenbird, Am . Redstart, Northern Waterthush and YB Sapsuckers + others that got past before I could grab my bins from the car. I guess the migration has begun!
On another note, I was asked by the Town of Ajax to help them develop a birding page on the website and to compile an annotated bird checklist. I have done so and if you're interested pls go to http://www.townofajax.com/Page3707.aspx to check it out. This is very progressive of the Town and it's nice to see a municipality put value on birds and nature in their community. If you find any errors or can provide additional info pls email me privately. The posting of this information was approved by the Ontbirds convenor.
