Visitors:
Far too numerous to list. It was NPHW's annual open house and despite cruel
weather( at first) many attended.


Weather:
Not what most folks would consider to be a great day. Cloudy, humid, cold,
only waring slightly between 11 and 3.

But the birds came, the largest number being Broadwings.

Raptor Observations:
6 Bald Eagles



2 Rough Legged Hawks







Non-raptor Observations:
2 Great Blues Herons 8:45 am

3 Bonaparte's Gulls  9:20 am

Predictions:
There are still a great many birds yet to come through.

When the weather dries up there will be still good counting days. Possibly
this (Saturday) afternoon.

Beamer Conservation Area, Grimsby, ON information may be found at:
http://www.niagarapeninsulahawkwatch.org/


Site Description:
Hawk migration monitoring at the Beamer Memorial Conservation Area in
Grimsby, Ontario is conducted by the Niagara Peninsula Hawkwatch (NPH). All
counting is done by volunteers. Not all members are counters nor does a
counter have to be a member. Typically one person is the designated counter
for each day but other observers present assist with the spotting and
identification.  Counting is done from a steel observation tower with a
wooden floor. For wind protection on cold days, particularly in March, a
black plastic wind guard is installed around the tower's platform. This
platform easily accommodates ten people but on most busy days, no more than
five or six observers would be on it.  



The site lies within a publicly accessible property owned by the Niagara
Peninsula Conservation Authority. There is no charge for admittance. The
tower stands in the centre of a mowed area with a gravel ring road near the
outer edge. This provides lots of room to park vehicles (along the road)
and set up lawn chairs, telescopes and cameras. Toilet facilities are
present.  During the counting season, the NPH erect a counting board to
display seven day's worth of observation data for the public. The box
enclosing the sign contains brochures and silhouette sheets for the public
as well as bulletin boards with news and historical sighting records.



 

Directions to site:
To get to Beamer CA, take the QEW to Exit 71/72, follow Christie
St./Mountain St. to the top of the escarpment, turn right on Ridge Road
West, and go 1.6km to Quarry Rd. Turn right on Quarry Rd. and drive 100m to
the conservation area. Parking is normally available inside the park. If
parking at the entrance or on the roads, do NOT leave valuables in your
car.

Please note: Data in this report is not official until reviewed and finalized 
after the end of the season. © 2011 Niagara Peninsula Hawkwatch

[Ontbirds] 32 American Avocets at Presqu'ile

[Doug McRae]

Greetings Ontbirders,

As the rain cleared at 1230 I went to the beach at Presqu'ile  
Provincial Park to see what might be around and was stunned to find an  
eye-popping 32 Avocets sleeping in a tight flock at water's edge near  
the roped off area at the south end of the swimming beach (Beach 3-4  
division).  They are still there as of 230 although they have become  
more active and are feeding and calling - don't know if they will  
stay.  All are in brilliant breeding plumage.  Although flocks this  
size are reported from extreme south-western Ontario occasionally,  
this kind of number is unprecedented this far east.


Directions:

Presqu'ile is located south of Brighton on the shore of Lake Ontario.   
Once in the park, proceed to the Owen Pt. Trail parking area and walk  
out to the  beach.  Please avoid flushing them if you can as they seem  
a bit flighty and might just leave altogether if pushed.


Cheers,

Doug McRae

[Ontbirds] Col. Sam Smith - Male Harlequin yes, but Western/Eared Grebes none

[robinlawson]

A cold, wet start towards Toronto in rain that never showed up in my checked 
radar ( http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/radar/index_e.html?id=WKR  for King City 
environs) albeit promised light showers were forecast with increasingly gusty 
winds. But the downpour stopped just as I arrived at Humber College to a quiet, 
very calm foggy morn with most of the Park to myself and the birds. Red necked 
Grebes still abound and searching the Bay "below" the College held a 
surprisingly beautiful male Harlequin Duck that popped out of the relatively 
mild surf (at that time) - north east end of the Bay as it abruptly rounds the 
point towards the very far east end of the Park  and eventual Humber West. A 
quick view of a Canvassback amongst the Grebes did not linger long. Despite 
checking many scores of Red necked Grebes (rafts and dotted individuals) and 
quite numerous Horned or Slavonian Grebes (almost ALL in full breeding plumage 
now) - there were no slope headed
 Eared or Black-necked Grebes to be found, a tough ID in mottled April plumage 
reportedly, of which I only saw 2 mottled such this time - at the entrance to 
the Marina along with local Howard Shapiro. There we had Greeen winged Teal as 
well as a couple of female Hooded Mergansers amongst Scaup, Gadwall, RB Mergs 
etc and a lone Greater Yellowlegs that plainitively flew  by calling, as if 
lost, into the Marina and then later back again. It was then that the calm 
rising fog in sunshine gave very sudden shift to gusty winds that augured a 
pressure change that will hopefully usher in some great northbound migrants. 
This in a 14C climb in 2 hours changed viewing conditions but the Nor'wester 
(wind) increased the chop markedly and instantly under the clearing skies - 
which brought the white winged scoters out on the wing. Fishermen will be joyed 
by the many 100s of Cormorants flying by on the way to work. A good, but not 
great, selection of water birds of
 interest to the Easter weekend photographers in fine plumages. A variety of 
sparrows sang in promise of increasingly nice weather - good birding - Robin 
Lawson, Newmarket
Park is at foot of Kipling Ave. South of Lakeshore Blvd.

[Ontbirds] Point Pelee National Park Migration update - April 23, 2011

[Sarah . Rupert]

Hello Birders!

What a beautiful day it has been in the park.  We've had lots of visitors 
and people out looking for birds over the last couple of days.

The first Yellow-breasted Chat of the season was reported from the south 
end of the DeLaurier Trail yesterday, by some very excited, new birders. 
Others have tried to relocate the bird, with no luck.  It was reported by 
one of the new interpretive panels about the Orchards.

A Yellow-throated Warbler was spotted at the north end of Sparrow Field, 
working its way north.  It was loosely associated with a flock of 
Yellow-rumped Warblers.  This bird was not relocated either.  In addition 
to these three species of warbler, another six were noted in the park 
today, included Yellow, Black-throated Green, Pine, Palm, 
Worm-eating Warbler and Northern Waterthrush.  No one has reported 
Louisiana Waterthrush today, however, the conditions in the sloughs along 
the Woodland Nature Trail and Tildens Woods are full of water and prime 
real estate for this species.

There are still lots of Brown Creepers around, and an unusually high 
number of Black-capped Chickadees for this area.  Yellow-bellied 
Sapsuckers continue to be noted, though their numbers have dropped from a 
week ago.

We're hoping to have new migrants again tomorrow morning - overnight 
conditions will start with SW winds and partly cloudy skies and rain is 
predicted to hold off until early evening tomorrow.

Good birding and happy spring!
Sarah

ps - the vegetation removal has been completed at Sparrow Field.  There 
are several large brush piles remaining for the spring season - which have 
been great spots for thrashers and towhees.  These piles will remain for 
the spring season.  For more information about the restoration project, 
don't hesitate to contact the park at peleei...@pc.gc.ca or 519-322-2354

[Ontbirds] 3 Black Vultures, Woodstock, April 23

[JAMES HOLDSWORTH]

Ontbirders,

At about 6.45 this evening I had the exceptional luck of having 3 Black 
Vultures 
fly over my backyard, at literally tree-top height. They circled leisurely [low 
enough to see their toes hanging out!] and then drifted off to the west. I 
called Ross Snider, as he lives west along the Thames River Valley, to keep an 
eye out and while on the phone the three came back, this time drifting slowly 
eastward, along the south side of the river valley. Both my wife and 
step-daughter managed good looks this time, missing them the 1st go round.

Certainly a case of overkill, as I have lusted after this bird in Oxford and 
didn't really require three! I must have done some good deeds lately as I seem 
to be getting a few gifts from the birding gods.

Anyway, for anyone interested, I would think that [if they linger] any high 
spot 
along the Thames River Valley, from Pittock Lake to Ingersoll, would give you a 
decent chance of re-finding. The main road through the valley is Beachville 
Road 
and this become Ingersoll Road west of Beachville.

Cheers,

We watched the sun set on the Avocets. They were still at the south end of
beach 3, bathing and preening by the water's edge.

Good birding indeed!

[Ontbirds] Ravenscrest/Hampshire Parks, Etobicoke: both species of waterthrushes and Indigo Bunting

[waynerenaud1951]

I spent 2 hours birding Mimico Creek through Ravencrest and Hampshire Heights 
Parks this afternoon enjoy some summer-like weather and saw some interesting 
birds.  The Louisiana Waterthrush and two Northern Waterthrushes were south of 
Rathburn and technically in Hampshire Height Park. The Northers were both in a 
flooded area of shallow standing water under ground of four willows and the 
Louisiana was feeding and singing along the edge of gravel bar on a narrowing 
of the creek (this bird sang three times).  Also seen was one Indigo Bunting 
and a dozen Hermit Thrushes (the most I have seen so far this spring).  One 
Pine Warbler was the only other warbler I recorded.  I also saw a pair of 
Pileated Woodpeckers.



Directions:  These parks are located near the intersection of Martin Grove and 
Rathburn Road (the former can be accessed from the #401 just east of the #427; 
the latter just from the #427 just south of the #401).  I parked in parking lot 
which is just north of the Intersection of these two roads; the trail starts 
there then runs under Martin Grove then Rathburn.  You can find these maps on 
web.

[Ontbirds] common black-headed gull NOTL

[peter burke]

This evening at approx. 7:15pm an adult Common Black-headed Gull flew out of
the Niagara River into Lake Ontario at Niagara-on-the-lake in the company of
a few 1000 Boneparte's Gulls, 200 Common Terns and 2 adult Little Gulls.
These were observed over the course of about half and hour.

The bird was seen from the vicinity of the Yacht Club up river of the mouth
approx. 500m. (ie/ south of the Municipal Park lookout over the river
mouth). Unfortunately I don't have better directions than this at the
moment.

big windfall.  They appeared to be making a home in a dead tree.


The (AWSNR) is at 4164 Monck Road, half way between Norland (Hwy #5)  
and Kinmount (County 121).  I will be there all day tomorow doing  
trail clean up but would be happy to show you where they are.
