[ONTBIRDS] Gray Partridge near Scotland, Brant County

[Sarah Lamond via ONTBIRDS]

Hi, 

This morning Sharon and Denys Gardiner found 6 Gray Partridge along Elliott 
Road just west of King Street N in Scotland. They were in a field on the south 
side of the road (roughly here: 43.0432190, -80.3369120). 

Mike Hallett just talked to a local from the area who told him they are wild 
birds and have been here for years. This is roughly 12km south from the 
Brantford Airport, which was the stronghold location of this species for Brant 
County up until 2013.

[Ontbirds] Upland Sandpiper, Pine Warblers Algonquin Park

[Sarah Lamond via ONTBIRDS]

Hello, 

This morning Peter Mills and I birded the airfield in Algonquin Provincial 
Park. While there, we flushed an Upland Sandpiper. It called a couple of times 
as it flew off but we were unfortunately unable to relocate it for photos. This 
is the first fall record for Algonquin Park (Tozer, Birds of Algonquin Park) 
and the second latest fall record for Ontario according to ebird (5th of 
October, tip of Long Point being the latest). Also of note was a flock of 12 
Pine Warblers associating with Yellow-rumped Warblers and Eastern Bluebirds. 

The Airfield is located at Mew Lake Campground, which is at KM 30.6 along 
highway 60 in Algonquin Provincial Park.

Re: [Ontbirds] Two Slaty-Backed Gull Brantford today

[Sarah Lamond via ONTBIRDS]

At least one of the slaty-backed gulls is currently at Mohawk Lake. An eagle 
just flew through and flushed all the gulls so hopefully they will land again. 

Mohawk lake is on Greenwich street which is just off of Mohawk Street.

Today at about 1 pm I stopped in at Mohawk Lake and found a Slaty-backed
Gull. The gulls flush very easily, so walk up very slowly after you park.
The gulls all flushed due to an eagle or vulture when I was there, but they
did start to come back.

Another interesting gull that noticed earlier looked like a hybrid of LBBG
x HEGU

Cheers,
Rich

Best viewed from Greenwich St.
Take Garden Ave exit off the 403, head south to Colborne, take that west to
Locks Rd.
Locks Rd turns into Mohawk St.
Turn north onto Greenwich Ave and the lake is on the north side (your right)
There are a few spots to park and look from along the road.
