The Long Point Bird Observatory sightings board is up and running again for LPBO's 60th season.
It was a fairly quiet week at Long Point, but highlights for the entire period January 1 to April 7, 2019 are summarized in the LPBO Sightings Board - https://www.birdscanada.org/longpoint/index.jsp?targetpg=lpbosight Visitors are always welcome at the Old Cut Research Station, and daily birding hikes depart Old Cut one hour after sunrise. Follow @LongPointBirdOb on Twitter <http://facebook.com/LPBObs> , @LPBObs on Facebook <http://facebook.com/LPBObs> , or @longpointbirds on Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/longpointbirds/> for daily updates on birding at Long Point and activities of LPBO. If you enjoy these updates and wish to support the research, training, and conservation projects of the Long Point Bird Observatory, please consider supporting the Cygnus Crusaders in their Great Canadian Birdathon <https://www.canadahelps.org/s/pPbF3> , or better yet, conduct your own Birdathon for LPBO <https://www.canadahelps.org/s/pPbF3> . Contact me off-list if you'd like to be a part of the LPBO Bird Alert Group (requires a mobile phone and WhatsApp) which is the front-line for birds of interest in the Long Point area, but birds of provincial significance will also be posted to Ontbirds. Directions: To get to Long Point, follow the birds, or head south on Hwy 59 from the 401 until you hit the lake. You can find all of the locations mentioned within the Long Point Birding Trail<http://www.birdscanada.org/longpoint/index.jsp?targetpg=lpbt <http://www.birdscanada.org/longpoint/index.jsp?targetpg=lpbt&lang=EN> &lang=EN>.
