Hi there, On Friday, May 4th I headed out in search of primarily sparrows, but, I couldn't resist 'switching gears' from time to time and scanning for warblers any time I was within viewing range of woodlots or shrubbery. I scanned for birds in two areas:
1) Bowesville/Letrim 2) Earl Armstrong Rd (patrolling along, from Limebank to Bowesville and back, several times) Collectively, between the 2 locations, 8 species of sparrows were noted: * White-crowned, White-throated, Swamp, Field, Savannah, Song, Lincoln's, Vesper* Some other highlights include (along Earl Armstrong Rd, heading east towards High Rd.): *Bobolink * *Eastern Kingbird * *Blackburnian Warbler* (amidst Yellow, Palm, Black-and-white, and, Yellow-rumped. Seen 200m N off of Earl Armstrong, along gravel bike path which intersects the road N/S.) Good birding, Jon Ruddy _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
