Today Ian Cannell, Jay Peterson and I birded the area north and northeast of Kingston and among some very nice birds we found 5 Loggerhead Shrikes and on the way home Ian and I stopped and observed the Yellow-crowned Night-Heron at 8:15 pm at the pond on Morgans Road, just east of Newcastle.
Found the bird (Night-Heron) right away where it was resting on the long thin island in the pond. Directions: We left Hwy 401 at Exit 448 (Newtonville Road), drove north the short distance to Reg. Rd 2 (Old Hwy 2) turned left (West) on Reg. Rd 2 and drove to Morgans Rd, turned right (North) on Morgans Road and drove approx. 1.7 kms to the pond which is on the east side of Morgans Rd. Norm Murr Richmond Hill Ontario, Canada You can't see birds if you don't go out but sit and wait for others to find them. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
