Hi Ontbirders: During late morning to early afternoon yesterday, I was passing through the Rideau Lakes area north of Kingston along Opinicon Road. Time of day meant few birds were singing, but highlights were one Cerulean Warbler, a Philadelphia and two Yellow-throated Vireos as well as a fly-by American Bittern. A Barred Owl was also calling. Relatively few migrants appeared to have returned.
Good birding Peter Hall Directions: From Highway 401, take Highway 15 north from Kingston. North of Elgin, take Chaffey's Lock Road to the village of Chaffey's Lock and continue west when it becomes Opinicon Road. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
