[Ontbirds]Northern Rough-winged Swallow Point Pelee
In addition to birds listed by others we had three Northern Rough-winged Swallows on the wires along North Dike Road. Purple Martins are back at the colony at the park end of North Dike (first house on the left after turning onto North Dike from the park). North Dike Road is the first road to the right after exiting Point Pelee Park. cheers, Claude and Nina Radley Tilbury

Hello Ont. Birders; Today I followed the trails of Thicksons Woods. Located an enormous amount of Winter Wrens ,G/Crowned Ruby Kinglets ,Brown Creepers several Hermit Thrush. I also found two E,Towhees one Fox Sparrow two Yellow Bellied Sapsuckers. The road along the the lake provided a great look at a Horned Grebe just in between winter breeding plumage. Two common Loons where also present! Mike Williamson Directions; From 401 East or West take the cut off for Thicksons Rd. proceed South. Just before the parking area there is a road on the East side that you can park on then enter either the meadow or the woods. Good Birding!!

Wylie Road is reached from Toronto by taking Highway 48 north past Beaverton, turning east following signs for the Kirkfield Liftlock, and proceeding to Kirkfield. At the four corners in Kirkfield, look for signs for the liftlock and the Carden Plain Important Bird Area; follow those signs by turning north (left)onto Kawartha Lakes 6. Proceed under the liftlock and continue on 6 until it curves to the left (west). Make a right onto McNamee Road (notice the IBA information billboard at the turn), and make a quick left (north) onto Wylie Road. If you're coming from the north, get to Wylie Road from Kawarth Lakes 6 by following signs to Lake Dalrymple. Go through the hamlet of Lake Dal. and look for Alvar Road on your right. Follow Alvar Road for several interesting km. and turn right onto Wylie Road. Nath Rockhill Box 12, RR 4 Kirkfield 705-438-1301
[Ontbirds]Prothonotary Warbler still at Tiny Marsh Sunday a.m.
Taking the calculated risk of driving all the way of up to Tiny Marsh in hopes of seeing the first Prothonotary Warbler to occur up there in 31 years, I sacrificed my last hockey game of the season and dragged a reluctant birder (my 15-year old son Ryan) out of bed. Fortunately, the bird was right where it was last reported, though my son and I and another birder must have initially walked right past it at 8:00 this morning. We bumped into a young birder from Barrie named Scott Watson who had just finished walking the full dike loop and, as seven Sandhill Cranes noisily passed, he informed us that he had seen the warbler when he first arrived at 7:00 a.m. We walked back toward the secondary parking area where we had started and - sure enough - there was the bird. It was between 60 - 70 regular walking paces east of the base of the Trotter dike, spending most of its time feeding on the north side of the little canal that parallels the trail. It did not stray any farther east than the big section of debris that almost dams the water about 100 paces east of the parking lot (there is a very long wooden beam that angles eastward from the south shore at this point). We had excellent views of the bird from 8:30 - 9:00 a.m. On the way up we had a Great Gray Owl sitting by the roadside on County Rd. #27, less than a km south of the Horseshoe Valley Rd. (Road #22). Thanks to Bob Bowles post yesterday mentioning that there were still several of these owls in the area, I had my birding antenna up. As we left Tiny Marsh we had two Wild Turkeys on the south side of the Tiny Flos Townline, about a km before reaching County Rd. 29, which is a good alternate route home if you live in Barrie or south. (It runs all the way down to the Horseshoe Valley Rd., then you turn right, travel a short distance, and hook up with #26. Turn left, then soon afterward turn right on George Johnston Rd. (#28), which goes south through Minesing and past Snow Valley, paralleling Hwy. 400 southward.) Ron Fleming, Newmarket Directions: Tiny Marsh is about a 20 minute drive northwest of Barrie and about 10 minutes east of Wasaga Beach. Exit Hwy. 400 at the Bayfield St. ramp in Barrie, then follow Bayfield northwest (left). Bayfield becomes County Road 27 (do not turn onto #26 west toward Stayner and Wasaga). Keep going north (straight). Take 27 north through the village of Elmvale, cross the little Wye River, then look for Simcoe Road 6 and turn west (left). The road quickly angles northward through the hamlet of Saurin. Go a short distance to 1st Conc., which is the Tiny-Flos Townline (a sign on the left indicates the way toting Marsh). Turn west (left) on the unpaved townline road and go 3.5 km to either the first parking lot on the right or another half km to the Interpretive Centre parking lot. From the Interpretive Centre parking lot, cross the bridge toward the building and turn right onto the dike trail and follow it about a half km east past the next bridge. The bird was 40 paces east of that bridge along the drainage creek on the right. If you park in the first lot, simply walk a few paces northward to the yellow post and turn right immediately onto the trail that goes eastward along the north shore of the little canal.
[Ontbirds]Great Egret at Second Marsh

Some of the new arrivals were Caspian Tern (2), N. Mockingbird (1), Rough-winged Swallow (2), Ruby-crowned Kinglet (21), Black-throated blue-Warbler (1 rough looking male), Swamp Sparrow (5), White-throated Sparrow (21), Savannah Sparrow (26), and Chipping Sparrow (2). Other birds of note were Canvasback (1 pair), N. Flicker (78), E. Phoebe (7), Hermit Thrush (25), Brown Creeper (21), Winter Wren (9), Song Sparrow (35), Field Sparrow (19), E. Towhee (3), and N. Cardinal (13). Golden-crowned Kinglet and Dark-eyed Junco numbers are down to below 50 and not one A. Tree Sparrow was seen by me. Be aware that if you plan a trip over there during these nice days that a large number of people start arriving after 10am but if you follow the route Wards (behind the houses) to Snake Is. to Snug Is. thru Centre Is. to the Wildlife Sanctuary and on to Gibralter and Hanlans Point you will miss the bulk of the crowds as they stick to the more manicured areas and walkways and if you take children over also be aware that the beach on Hanlans Point is a nude Beach and some men already are using it. All in all a nice day to be out with 56 species tallied. Good birding. DIRECTIONS TORONTO ISLANDS To get to the Toronto Islands from Queen and Yonge Streets on the TTC. If your on the subway southbound stay on it and get off at Union Station, walk south about 1 km to the ferry docks at the foot of Bay Street and Queens Quay and you are there. If in an auto on the Gardener Expressway or on Lakeshore Blvd, then exit at Bay Street and drive south to Queens Quay, there are lots of parking lots nearby (fee). There is a fee for using the island ferries ($6.00 / $3.50 for seniors) and to find out the sailing times you can phone (416) 392-8193 and there are washrooms on the islands as well as the city side at the ferry docks. The 1st boat to Wards Island (my preferred starting point) is 6:35 am and the 2nd is 7:15 am Monday to Saturday and the 1st is at 8:00 am on Sunday.

[Ontbirds]Late posting
Ontbirders I don't know what happened but I posted the Toronto Island report yesterday at 5:08pm and since then 14 postings have gone out before mine so it is a tad late for any weekend birders to try the Islands.

[Ontbirds]Eurasian Wigeon - Hullett Wildlife Area - Huron County
Hi All, I'm posting this on behalf of my parents...Ev Doug Brown.apologies for the late post...but I didn't get the message till late this afternoon. They were birding with friends in the Hullett Wildlife Area today and found a single male Eurasian Wigeon amongst a raft of American Wigeon on a large pond on the north edge of the wildlife area. They and other birders from Stratford also observed / heard a Virginia Rail. Also seen in Hullett today by myself and my son Mike were 1 singing Brown Thrasher (1st this year) and a great look at a Lincoln's Sparrow (1st this year). Dave J Brown Directions: You can get to Hullett Wildlife Area by travelling westbound on Hwy 8 out of Stratford heading towards Goderich. Just after you pass through the small town of Seaforth watch for the Kinburn Line and take it north (i.e. turn RIGHT). Travel north on Kinburn Line (you'll notice that the majority of land to your left is actually part of the wildlife area) till you reach the village of Kinburn (basically a few houses located at a northeast corner of the wildlife area. Turn LEFT on the gravel road (sorry can't remember the line#) and travel west for roughly 2-3km. The whole time watch on your LEFT for a large area of waterthis will be Mallard Pond. Note that just past this pond is a turn-in (LEFT) to a large tower lookoutand another 1 km west again is a second large pond (LEFT) and then another turn-in (just over the hill on the LEFT) to a second lookout that's excellent for checking out ducks on this pond. Hullett Wildlife Area has a great mix of habitat with lots of access points on all 4 sides.

An adult CALIFORNIA GULL found at a large pond on the east side of Moodie Dr. south of the Trail Rd. landfill on Apr. 15th has not been relocated. If you visit this site, please do not cross the gate as this is private property. A male EURASIAN WIGEON was seen on the 16th on the Quebec side at Petit Baie Clement, 6 km. west of Masson; the bay and the bird can also be seen from the Marais aux Grenouillettes 1.2 km farther west. An adult Tundra Swan was discovered in the north-central cell of the Embrun sewage lagoons along Rte. 400 on the 16th as well. The 1st locally reported Common Loons were on the Ottawa River at Andrew Haydon Park and Shirley's Bay on the 17th, Double-crested Cormorants appeared at Dow's Lake on the 15th and a few began to appear on the Ottawa River this past weekend. In waterfowl reports, several flocks of Snow Geese have continued to move through in the Cobb's Lake Creek area east of Bourget and at the Embrun lagoons from the 13th through the 17th. A Cackling Goose was with the Canada Geese along Hwy 417 at Kinburn Side Rd. on the 13th. Approx. 130 Common Mergansers were at the Moodie Dr. pond on the 17th and good numbers of this species are on the Ottawa River as well. Five displaying male Ruddy Ducks and one female were on the Moodie Dr. pond on the 17th, and the 1st Blue- winged Teal of the season was reported from the Embrun lagoons on the 12th. Otherwise, all of the expected resident and migrant ducks are now widespread. Raptor reports included several Ospreys and an adult Bald Eagle at the Masson-Thurso marshes in Quebec on the 16th. Merlins have been observed performing courtship displays in several suburban neighbourhoods, and the female of Ottawa's downtown breeding pair of Peregrine Falcons is now evidently incubating 4 eggs on the west side of the Crowne Plaza hotel. Five SANDHILL CRANES were in the cornfields on the west side of Milton Rd. on the 13th and 10 American Coots were back at the Alfred sewage lagoons on the 12th. New shorebirds reported this past week were both Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs and a Spotted Sandpiper at the Embrun lagoons. A late 2nd-spring Glaucous Gull was on Mud Lake in Britannia on the 13th and a late Iceland Gull, also a 2nd-spring bird, was at the Moodie Dr. pond on the 17th. A male Three-toed Woodpecker reported from the Britannia woods near the southwest corner of Mud Lake on the 16th was not relocated the next day. A very early Veery was reported from a backyard in Manotick on the 16th as well. The 1st reports of Northern Rough-winged Swallow and Barn Swallow came in during the past week, and a Brown Thrasher was singing on the Carp Ridge along the Thomas Dolan Parkway on the 16th. Other passerine reports of interest included Yellow-rumped and Pine Warblers at Britannia this past weekend, and a Pine Warbler was reported from the Jack Pine Trail on the 16th as well. The 1st reports of Chipping Sparrow and White-throated Sparrow have begun to come in since the 11th, and a flock of 40 Rusty Blackbirds were singing on Twin Elm Rd. north of Cambrian Rd. on the 17th.
