Re: [Ontbirds] Great Kiskadee Rondeau YES

2018-09-07 Thread Steve Charbonneau via ONTBIRDS
FYI. The kiskadee was seen by 6 of us around 6:00 at the location that Ken 
described. It was only seen for about a minute and photographed by Blake Mann 
and I. It flew into a willow beside the path here but it hasn’t been seen 
since, despite lots of us looking. We don’t believe it has gone far. I’ll 
repost if we find it again and will definitely be here tomorrow morning to help 
others look for the bird.

At 9am, I saw and photographed a fall-plumaged Hudsonian Godwit on the tip
of Fish Point on Pelee Island. Fish Point is the southwestern point on the
island, about 3 km south of the west Ferry Dock.
