[Ontbirds] Cattle Egret-Grey County-Southgate

[Dan MacNeal via ONTBIRDS]

Hey there, there is a Cattle Egret in the south end of Grey County along 
Southgate Rd 8. It is on the back side of a pond on the north side of the rd 
about 400m off the rd past a small island in the pond. Park here (44.0643856, 
-80.4368483) and look north.
Probably best to just copy those coordinates in google maps search bar for 
directions but here are directions from Shelburne
Take Hwy 89 west out of Shelburne
Travel about 16-17km west then turn right onto Grey Rd 8
Go north on Grey Rd 8 about 4km and turn left onto Southgate rd 8
Travel west about 2.3 km and look for the pond on the north side just past a 
gate with for sales sign and green number 086386.

Good birding and good luck.

[Ontbirds] Curlew Sandpiper- Belwood- Wellington County

[Dan MacNeal via ONTBIRDS]

Hey there I was able to re-find the Curlew Sandpiper this morning found by Mike 
Cadman yesterday. The bird was initially found about 1km upstream of the 
Broadway St Bridge but flushed with some Killdeer and is now about 350m 
upstream from the bridge on a rocky island in the middle of the river.

Directions from Guelph take 124 east out of Guelph then turn left  and go north 
on to 26(this becomes broadway st) take the last right before the bridge on to 
side rd 10. You can park her and walk to the rivers edge or continue for about 
300m and park at the edge of the rd by an opening in the trees to get down to 
the water.

Amazing find Mike!

Good birding!

[Ontbirds] Townsends Solitaire--Guelph-- Wellington County

[Dan MacNeal via ONTBIRDS]

Hello all,

  A Townsend's Solitaire was found today at the Guelph Lake Nature Centre on 
Conservation Rd by Greg Meredith and Ann Schletz.

Mike Cadman and myself viewed to bird around 4 pm. It was seen below the Nature 
Centre parking area close to a line of cedars at the edge of the lake.

There is a good food supply so chances are it may stick around. This is 
basically the same area as the 2014 Varied Thrush but closer to the nature 
centre.


Not sure about access during the day as the centre runs classes


Directions:

Take Victoria Rd N out of Guelph which becomes Wellington Rd 38

Turn Right onto Conservation Rd, the nature centre parking lot is about 1km on 
the right (south side) just after the gate for the dam.



Good birding!


Dan MacNeal

The bird continues this morning despite the rain and windy conditions in the

edge of the GRCA Carrow Tract on 4th Line SW.

See previous posts for directions
One thing I should add is if you are coming through Shelburne there are 2 4th 
lines. Take 4th Line SW not 4th Line N. it's the second 4th line west of 
Shelburne with a Wind Turbine at the corner.

[Ontbirds] Dickcissel Grey County Southgate.

[Dan MacNeal via ONTBIRDS]

Hello all. We can add Grey County to the list of Counties hosting Dickcissel. I 
observed two birds in a field on the north side of Southgate road 08 at the 
south end of Grey County.  A male was singing near a red and white 
communications tower and later from the hydro wires along the road. A second 
probable female was seen flying low of the field on the north side of the road.

Directions.
>From Shelburne head west on Highway 89 for about 22.6 km then turn right 
>(north) onto Southgate rd 15 in 4.1 km turn left onto Southgate rd 
>08/concession rd 4. Travel west about another 250m.
Or checkout the map link in the checklist below

[Ontbirds] Cattle Egret-Wellington County

Posting for Brett Fried
Brett found a Cattle Egret running around with some horses on the south side of 
Hwy 124 at "Sinopoli Farm" between 5th and 4th lines west of Erin. No sign of 
it at the moment but there are lots of places it could be out of site. Hoping 
to relocate and will post if I do with better directions. Just wanted to get

[Ontbirds] Black-headed Gull in Thorold.

Hello all. I just had a Black-headed Gull on the ice in the Welland canal 
viewed from the parking lot of the Quebec and Ontario Paper Company. This is

Re: [Ontbirds] White Pelicans - Guelph Lake CA

[Dan MacNeal]

The birds are still present. Resting on a small island near the main CA island. 
I am currently viewing them with scope from the trail off the end of Kaine Hill 
Drive. They are distant and scope is needed. Much closer viewing could be found 
by entering the Conservation Area and viewing from the Island.

Hello all,

Last night at about 7:30pm a small group of us had a pair of White Pelicans
lift off the water and fly overhead while we were on The Island at Guelph
Lake Conservation Area...definitely a very uncommon sighting on the lake,
and a good-looking pair of birds! Hopefully they stay around for a bit.
Observers were Chris Earley, Jiffy Gibson, Jenn Bock, Dav Nemethy-Fekete
and myself.

Good birding!

[Ontbirds] Eurasian Collared-Dove, Guelph, Wellington County

[Dan MacNeal]

Hello all. Late post.
The possible Eurasian Collared-Dove that was reported on the Wellbirds Listserv 
today found by Mike Lepage was still present this evening. I took several 
photos and some video/audio and after checking with several people and sources 
I'm confident that it is a Eurasian Collared-Dove and not an African Collared 
Dove.
Here's a link to my ebird checklist with a couple photos and audio.
http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S30623534
The bird was hanging around a residential neighborhood in Guelph on the 
rooftops of the houses. It stuck around the houses closest to the intersection 
of Elmira Rd S and Stephanie Dr. It was calling often and flying from roof to 
roof.
Directions from the 401
Take highway 6(the hanlon expy) north. Turn left on Paisley Rd, left on Elmira 
Rd S and then left on Stephanie and your there.

[Ontbirds] Dickcissel, Amaranth-Dufferin County

[Dan MacNeal via ONTBIRDS]

I had a female Dickcissel on my way home from work today at 4:50pm on 8th line 
of Amaranth between side Rds 15 and 20.  The bird flew off to the other side of 
the rd just as I was focusing with my camera. I tried for 10 minutes to 
relocate but had no luck. 
On a side note also had a Red-headed Woodpecker around noon at a coworkers 
house on 10th line of Amaranth. The bird was coming to his suet feeder. 

Not sure of the reliability of the Dickcissel staying in the same spot. 
But here are Directions:
From Authur take highway 109 (9) east approximately 23km take 8th line north, 
second left after 25(trafalgar). Bird was seen between 15 and 20 side Rds on 
eighth line. About 150 m after the last house on the right when traveling 
north. Near a small bridge for a drainage ditch. Birds flew from the west side 
of the rd to the east towards open field or low thick scrub bush just north of 
the drainage ditch. 

Good birding!

[Ontbirds] Smiths Longspurs. Continue. Essex.

[Dan MacNeal via ONTBIRDS]

Hello ontbirders, 

I was able to locate 2 of the Smiths Longspurs this morning at approximately 
7:00 am. They were in the grassy field again and were vocal but difficult to 
spot. 
 Thanks for the tip about the boots!

Good birding,


The Longspurs have been in the thicker green grass on the west side of Mersea 
road 21 just north of road 2. Across from the White House on the right. Just 
north of Hillman marsh

[Ontbirds] Varied Thrush continues at Guelph Lake dam

[Dan MacNeal]

The Varied Thrush was present this morning at 8:00 am. It arrived shortly after 
I did. I walked out to the crab apple trees and then heard it from behind me. I 
turned around to see it fly and land in a large conifer across the street. It 
paused for a moment and flew across almost straight at me into the crab apple 
trees. It posed very nicely for several photos before it snatched an apple and 
dove into the under brush!

Directions:
From 401 go north on Brock (46) right‎ on Stone Rd. Left on Victoria, right on 
Conservation Rd. Dam road is on right - crab apples about ‎20 meters south of 
Conservation Rd along the road over the dam.

Good Birding!

[Ontbirds] Spotted Towhee continues in Glen Williams (Halton) Jan 21

[Dan MacNeal]

571 main st Glen Williams
Sorry for the late post. 
Observed the bird twice very briefly today, once when I arrived at 8:25 and 
then again just before 10:30.stayed until noon with no more sitings. This was 
my third attempt at seeing it. 
 It came in to the porch below the feeder very quick and did not stick around 
long. It retreated to the fence line between the next house into dense cover or 
some shrubs and cedars. I took one terrible photo not even good enough for a 
record shot. 

There are are least three other houses with backyard feeders very close to this 
house so there are many options for feeding. 

Directions
410 north continue north on hurontario for 2 km. Left on old school road
for 10 km which continues to main.
571 main
Small parking lot directly across from the house as well as a larger one for 
the antiques shop across the street.

Correction. 4 Greater White-fronted geese total. Most likely the same birds 
that have been seen at this location for most of November.

[Ontbirds] Greater White-fronted Geese- Wellington County

[Dan MacNeal]

The four geese were present today at 5 pm in the Hillsburgh pond. Had checked 
in the morning at 8:30 today but they were absent. They seem to leave for the 
day to presumably feed in the surrounding area fields and return mid afternoon 
to the pond. 

Directions:

From the town of Erin, take Road 124 west to Trafalgar Rd. Go north on
Trafalgar for a few km to the village of Hillsburgh. Turn left at Station
Rd., cross the bridge and park in the park parking lot where there are 2-3
yellow buildings. Good viewing of the pond can be had from the bench just
steps from the parking lot.
