This morning at 10:30 Lillian and I saw a White-crowned Sparrow at the Cabot Head Bird Observatory. It was seen close to the main buildings. We had good looks, and needless to say we were fairly surprised to see it.
We also had a close encounter with a large Massassauga Rattlesnake on the road into the bird observatory! Things were pretty quiet this weekend on the Bruce, however, Lillian saw a pair of N. Goshawks first thing this AM along Warner Bay Road, SE of Tobermory. Directions: driving north on Hwy. 6, turn right onto Dyers Bay Road. Take this until the end of the road at Dyers Bay, turning right onto Cabot Head Road. Total time from the hwy. is roughly 15-20 minutes. Good Birding, Lillian Knopf and Ken Burrell Waterloo, ON _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
