This afternoon at 2:30 we had excellent views of the Cattle Egret that was
found July 22nd.
It was sitting on the edge of a little pond behind the house on the west side
of King Road, just north of Regional Road 3.Cattle are in the field south
of this little pond.
Rock Point P. P. is on the north shore of Lake Erie, east of Dunnville. King
Road runs from Rymer Road to Regional Road 3.
Good luck. Dennis & Gwen Lewington

Yesterday (July 28) at 1 p.m., in the middle of a sunny afternoon, an Eastern
Screech Owl began to sing the "whinny" song at about 10 second intervals, going
on for about 5 minutes. It was doing a rather poor job, with the whinny barely
descending in tone. It was followed by one run of the "toot toot toot" call,
this time done by the book (or the CD-ROM).
We have a resident Screech Owl in the neighbourhood, but it has never sung at
mid-day. I really don't think it was a birder testing his new talents - any
person would have given up long before the owl did.
My question is: could this be a recently independent first-year male setting
up a territory? If the behaviour is repeated, I'll inform ONTBIRDS. My
address is 929 St. Louis Ave., Windsor.

The Eared Grebe continues to be seen at the Exeter lagoons. From mid-neck
down, it is now in non-breeding plumage but the head still retains a
vestige of it's former glory. The peak still remains on the top of the head
and some yellow breeding plumes continue to be visible on the still solidly
black head. The bird was in the middle cell today. As well, there was Black
Duck, RingNecked, Am Widgeon, Ruddy, Coot, Pied Billed and ever increasing
numbers of Cormorants and Great Blue Herons. The usual shorebirds to be
expected are present.
Exeter lagoons are a mile and a quarter to the west of the intersection of
highways 4 and 83 approximately 30 miles north of London in Exeter. Turn
south at the cemetery which is Airport Line road and drive to the second
gate on the left. Park without blocking the entrance and walk in. Just a
reminder that you are required to possess and display on your dashboard an
annual permit that is obtained at the town office during business hours at
no cost. Town office is at the intersection of Main St and Sanders St.
Good Birding..
Rick Thornton
