Good afternoon,

I am currently looking at 4 Black - necked Stilts in a privately owned
flooded field at North East Hillman Marsh Mersea road 21.

View from the road only.  FYI Goose season starts tomorrow.

There are other shorebirds including Stilt Sandpipers as well.

Re: [Ontbirds] Fw: [GeneseeBirds-L] Survey comparison of bird watchers and duck hunters

[Dean Ware via ONTBIRDS]

Kayo- Many Birders may not know this but if they go to their local Canada
Post office and purchase a "Duck Stamp" these monies go directly to Marsh
habitat.

Best investment for only $20 bucks and you get a collector's stamp which we
have seen increases in value.

Win win!

[Dean Ware via ONTBIRDS]

It is no longer called road 2 but rabbit run road.

 Hello Everyone.

 Hike leaders will be starting daily reports tomorrow, but I thought I'd
 put an update out for today.

 First - the Smith's Longspurs have been seen in the same location as
 yesterday (Mersea RD 21, North of Road 2).  At least three birds were seen
 this morning.  We haven't had any recent reports, but the birds have been
 moving around the fields quite a bit, so patience may be needed.

 In additon to the other reports from the park this morning, there is has
 been a small trickle of warblers including Nashville, Black-burnian and
 Chestnut-sided.  The Western Grebe has not been reported since this
 morning, though the Eared Grebe was seen by many.

 Good birding everyone.
 Sarah
