[Ontbirds]Bonaparte's Gulls, Sparrow Lake, Muskoka

[Eleanor Kee Wellman]

While out photographing common terns on Long Island, Sparrow Lake, I saw two
Bonaparte's gulls at the water's edge of the ring-billed gull colony.  They
appear to be first year birds. They are in neither first winter nor adult
non-breeding plumage.  I have several pictures which I will forward to the
OFO website.

Two Caspian Terns also seen loafing.

Sparrow Lake is west of Hwy 11, north of the Severn River.  The colonies are
accessible by boat only.

  I  have  been  watching and listening to a Northern Mockingbird in the
  cable  and  transformer  yard  just  to the south of the Toronto Hydro
  building at 28 Underwriters Road (west side) for about a month now. It
  starts  it's wonderful variety of calls every morrning and usually can
  be heard until the early afternoon every day. It can be spotted on the
  lighting  poles  in  the  yard  or  on  the  roofs  of  the surroundig
  buildings.  Access to the property is restricted to employees only but
  it  can  be  easily  seen  from the road. You will most likely here it
  first as it sings all day long.

  Underwriters Road is one block west of Birchmount running south off of
  Lawrence. The Hydro building is half way down the road on your right.

This evening (Tuesday 28) Dean Ware found a female Ruff (Reave) at 
Hillman marsh east of the boardwalk.  There were also 3 Little Gulls.


To get to Hillman marsh, go east on Oak Street from Leamington a few 
kms.
