[Ontbirds] Lark Sparrow near Walsingham
Hi Birders, I just came in from watching a LARK SPARROW singing away in one of our fields. The bird was singing and feeding in last years corn field at the south end of our property, in the center of the field. I last saw it fly up through the trees bordering the western edge of the field. If it sticks around in the coming days I will re-post its status. Today there was also a Lincoln's Sparrow and Black-billed Cuckoo in the ravine where the stream goes under the road, and yesterday a CLAY-COLOURED SPARROW in the scrubby field south of the house near the big sandhill. Good birding! Matt Timpf Walsingham, ON Directions: Our farm can be reached by following Regional Road 60 west from the intersection of Hwy 59 & Hwy 24 (Hwy 24 becomes RR 60 west of that intersection). Our farm is a few km down the road on your left, on the West Quarter Line Road. Follow the gravel road south to the southernmost field on your right (last years corn field) to listen for the sparrow. ___ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.

[Ontbirds] 26 species of warbler on Burlington, Oakville & Etobicoke Lakeshore parks
Well this is the day we've all been waiting for. I spent from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm birding Paletta Park, Burlington; Shell Park, Oakville and Col. Sam Smith Park, Etobicoke. There was nothing extra-ordinarily rare ... just lots of and lots of variety, many in good numbers. Here are the totals of warblers for all three areas combined: Blue-winged Warbler: 1 (Shell Park); Golden-winged Warbler: 1 (Paletta Park); Tennessee Warbler: 41: Orange-crowned Warbler: 2 (Paletta Park); Nashville Warbler: 9: Northern Parula: 7; Yellow Warbler: 27: Chestnut-sided Warbler: 30; Magnolia Warbler: 38; Cape May Warbler: 3; Black-throated Blue Warbler: 16; Yellow-rumped Warbler: 21; Black-throated Green Warbler: 16; Pine Warbler: 1; Palm Warbler: 8; Bay-breasted Warbler: 2; Blackpoll Warbler: 1; Black-and-white Warbler: 3; American Redstart: 44; Ovenbird: 2; Northern Waterthrush: 1; Connecticut Warbler: 1 (Paletta Park); Mourning Warbler: 1 (Shell Park); Common Yellowthroat: 7; Wilson's Warbler: 3; Canada Warbler: 9. The biggest variety was at Paletta Park with 23 species of warbler. Also of note was a Yellow-throated Vireo in Shell Park. Overall there seemed to a huge influx of vireos and minor influx of flycatchers. Directions: PALETTA PARK: easily marked and located mid-way between Walker's and Appleby Line where they intersect Lakeshore. I've found the working the western edge of park adds to the variety of habitats and numbers of species of birds, and particularly warblers can be found at this time of year. SHELL PARK: located one long block east of the intersection of Lakeshore and Great Lakes Boulevard (an extension of Burloak). Warblers were heavily concentrated in the mature deciduous forest just north of the garden plots to north edge of the park. COLONEL SAMUEL SMITH PARK: located at end of Kipling where it intersects Lakeshore. Again warblers were pretty much everywhere in the park including the 'bowl' and 'mini bowl' in the north-eastern part of Humber College Campus.

[Ontbirds] Frantic Goldfinch behaviour--Anten Mills, ON
I have been feeding birds in my backyard for many years but I have never seen as many goldfinches (about 200) nor as frantic as this afternoon. I don't know if it's because of the sudden cold, windy weather or if it is just a fluke. A huge percentage of the group is female. I would love to hear any possible answers from more seasoned birders than me. Also, later this afternoon they started a frantic bathing experience with as many as 10 bathing at a time in the birdbath. Cathy Anten Mills is located just northeast of the Minesing Swamp. ___ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.

[Ontbirds] Sandhill Crane, many migrants - Toronto Islands
At about 6:30 p.m. this evening, a calling and very low flying Sandhill Crane was seen heading in a northwesterly direction from Ward's Island. It appeared to have flown over from the Spit. At Ward's Island too, there was a large grounding of Vireos, Warblers, Cedar Waxwings and American Goldfinches. The most common Warblers were still Yellow-rumps (mostly females), Tennessee and Chestnut-sided. Too bad I was only able to spend two hours there!

Today's flocks included a much higher proportion of females, especially for MAGNOLIAS. CEDAR WAXWINGS were still on the move, with flocks numbering up to about 60 birds, mostly near South Point. Other birds of note were SUMMER TANAGER at Bennett Road and YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHERS at the Maintenance Loop and on Tulip Tree Trail. Shorebirds in the area yesterday included 4 SANDERLINGS on the Erieau south pier and 2 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS seen from the road into Erieau. Today there were 8 RUDDY TURNSTONES and 4 DUNLIN at the Erieau south pier. Not a shorebird, but on the shore at McGeachy's Pond, was an AMERICAN BITTERN. I did not receive any reports of sightings at the Blenheim Sewage Lagoons today. I would appreciate receiving messages concerning observations at the lagoons and other Rondeau area birding locations (e.g. Erieau) for posting on Ontbirds and to forward to the local Bird Records Committee. ___ I will lead a guided hike twice daily from Saturday May 2 to Monday May 18, inclusive (fee $5), as follows: Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 7:30 am and 1:00 pm; Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30 am and 7:00 pm; Friday at 7:30 pm.
