Hi all,
I was seeing a good variety of new birds at my feeders and in the yard
to-day(including 1 Chipping and 1 White-throated Sparrow, 1 Ruby-crowned
Kinglet and 1 female Yellow-rumped Warbler plus 3 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers) so
decided to drive around the block this afternoon when the rain showers eased
off.
Along Mollard Line we saw 2 Vesper Sparrow ~2km apart and the on Army Camp
Road opposite the campground a mixed flock of ~6/7 Savannah and 3/4 Vesper
Sparrow - darting along the fenceline, in and out of cover.
The swans were located in the shallow water opposite Bressettes(the
partly flooded) cut area at ~17:30 hrs. There were 8 adult birds and the rest
had varying amounts of gray in their neckfeathers. I scoped them well but
could discern no yellow tags so familiar to me.
On our way to Grog's at Northville for the 'Wednesday all you can eat
Mussels' - I spotted a Greater Yellowlegs in a roadside wet patch just north of
Outer Drive and when we stopped I saw 1 Spotted Sandpiper and eventually found
8 Wilson's Snipe. Earlier we had seen 1 Pied-billed Grebe at "L' Lake on our
way to K.P.
A few nice surprises and 2 plates of Jalepeno Tequilla Mussels - L.I.G.
Cheers! Maris
