[Ontbirds]bobolink, blue-wing warbler Normandale

2008-05-05 Thread Ian and Rose
We saw our first Bobolink of the season.   Townsend Conc 14 and 
O'Mahoney Road. 

There were several Blue-wing warblers at Long Point.  A few other 
warblers, but not too many birds. Im. Blue Heron still at the LPBO pond.


And of note... Normandale Fish Hatchery lake has burst it's embankment 
and drained.  It is empty except for the running stream going through.  
The dam spillway is intact but the dirt embankment burst.  It is pretty 
awesome to see.  This is near Turkey Point PP.  We saw our first E. 
Kingbird here.

[Ontbirds]Rose-breasted Grosbeak Ancaster

2008-05-03 Thread Ian and Rose
We had a young male RB Grosbeak in our yard two days ago (May 1st)  He 
took a bath in our pond :)
Today we have a White-crowned Sparrow in our yard.  I've been waiting 
since hearing about others.
