Hi Birders, Mike and I toured the Long Point area this morning, coming up with a number of great sightings among 138 species.
Highlights: Whimbrel 865 - we watched from the end of Hasting's Drive this morning for about 40 minutes. Flocks flew by, all heading west. http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist?subID=S18552771 Red Knot 6 - a mixed-species flock flew by us at Hasting's Drive at 7:15. Red-throated Loon 7 - all flew by Hasting's Drive in the am Acadian Flycatcher 1 bird at Old Cut Hybrid warbler sp. 1 bird was banded at Old Cut that Mike and I were fortunate enough to see. Initially we thought Chestnut-sided X Magnolia, but I must confess there looks like some Cerulean in it; however, some feathers were taken to get a DNA sample. There is a pic of the bird on LPBO's facebook page. If people are interested I can send them a pic of the bird. Least Bittern 1 calling from Big Creek NWR Wilson's Phalarope and White-rumped Sandpiper 1 of each at the Townsend sewage lagoon. Good Birding, Ken Burrell _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
