Hello Ontbirders,
At Aylmer WMA, Elgin Co. today, I found 2 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS, 3 American Robins,
and 4 House Finches. The shrubs here are loaded with berries for them to feed
upon. Also here, I saw a NORTHERN SHRIKE holding a piece of bloody flesh in
its bill. This prompted a stop at the Mennonite Farmers Market in Aylmer to
purchase several racks of pork ribs for New Year's dinner. Around Aylmer, I
found one each of Red-tailed, Rough-legged and Sharp-shinned Hawks, and 6 Wild
Turkeys along Catfish Creek. Neither cats, catfish nor catbirds were found.
Merry Birding,
Gordon Cameron
