Hello birders. I spent the day birding with Len Manning on the Niagara Peninsula. 52 species. Horned Larks, Snow Buntings and Tundra Swans were the most noticeable migrants. At the end of the day we found two Snow Geese (blue morph) at Jones Beach in Port Weller. This is on the east side of the east pier area. These could be the same two blue geese (see his photo) reported to eBird by Rick Stronks on Feb. 28th from Dingle Park in Oakville. Other birds seen included the stakeout adult Red-headed Woodpecker in Vineland area which also had a White-crowned Sparrow. 3 White-crowned Sparrows were at a feeder on 10th Road East. There was a bright female Dark-eyed "Slate-colored" Junco coming to a feeder with lots of juncos and tree sparrows on 6th Rd. East south of Ridge Rd. It stood out markedly from the other birds present, being very "peachy-brown" on the sides. Here's a selection of the 10 eBird checklists we made (these will have the locational information of course!): http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S17272656 http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S17276921 http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S17258037 http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S17257334 http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S17257259 http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S17258037 Cheers, Andrew Keaveney _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
