[Ontbirds] 3 Orange Crowned Warblers, The Coves, London, Jan 7

[olivesided via ONTBIRDS]

I currently have 3 OCWA foraging actively in a canada goldenrod patch along the 
west pond of the Coves, in London.  This spot is locally known as the orchard. 
I'm not sure which birds are continuing or if one is a new discovery.One is 
markedly brighter than the others. I did manage some poor video footage from my 
phone.
Birds are actively giving chipping notes. This is a probable 4th warbler with 
them, I think a Nashville but I didn't get a good enough look to eliminate 
others... so I will work on pinning down this pig. They aren't currently with 
any other Dickie birds and were not present yesterday on my search.
From wharncliffe ave, drive west on Cove Road. You can park at the German Club. 
Walk west to the terminus of cove road until you see a house with no 
trespassing signs. Turn left follow that path past the soccer fields and you 
will see the west pond in fr9nt of you eventually.Follow the footpath along the 
west pond until it's western terminus, on your right, an old, barely legible,  
no trespassing sign with red paint on it. I have marked the path with an 
inordinate number of things so you can't miss the spot. Birds are here now. 
Continue on path and on your right is a larger goldenrod patch which they have 
also flown to.

[Ontbirds] White-eyed Vireo, Burlington, Nov. 26

[olivesided via ONTBIRDS]

Hi,
A White-eyed Vireo discovered yesterday at Paletta Park in Burlington, is still 
being seen as of moments ago. The bird seems to stay in the cedars which are on 
the west side of the creek, and run along the east side of Paletta Mansion. It 
can be seen with other dickie birds. This bird may be around for Friday, the 
first day of annual winter listing. 
Take the QEW to walkers line, take Walkers Line to Lakeshore Blvd. Travel east 
on Lakeshore and the park is on your right. Some of the older generation call 
it Shoreacers Park also.

[Ontbirds] Northern Gannet Update, Hamilton, Nov.26

[olivesided via ONTBIRDS]

Hi,
Birders have been looking for the Northern Gannet this morning. To my knowledge 
it had not been relocated as of yet.
I searched along the lakefront this morning from the Skyway Bridge/Burlington 
Beach, east to 50 Point CA in Grimsby. I did not locate a single feeding frenzy 
that would attract the Gannet. On top of this, the wind is blowing from the 
west and north and, is at times quite strong. These winds could easily have 
pushed the Gannet east towards Niagara or perhaps back to New York state where 
it was seen before visiting us. Its still worth searching for of course. The 
scenario I mention is a strong possibility, however.

[Ontbirds] Hamilton OFO trip summary

[olivesided via ONTBIRDS]

31 participants met me at Van Wagner's beach, for some fall birding along the 
Hamilton waterfront. 
A pleasant andsunny morning was welcome. 4 Sanderling on the beach and 2 Great 
Black-backed Gull on the lake, were a good start. That good start quickly 
turned not so good though, as the group quickly discovered that songbirds (even 
very common ones) were nearly impossible to turn up.Despite checking many 
traditional warbler hotspots on the first leg of the trip, our entire group 
only had 1 WARBLER OF 1  SPECIES! A Myrtle! The trend continued with only a 
couple of the usually numerous sparrows we regularly see.Herons put in a good 
show with Great Egrets, Green, Black Crowned Night, and Great Blue, all being 
seen in the same location. Shorebirds were later well represented with Marbled 
Godwit, Golden Plover, Bairds Sand, Ruddy Turnstone , Spotted, and a getting 
late Short-billed Dowitcher.  The Godwit and Turnstone being lifers for 
different participants. 
Ducks also played a role in boosting our moderate species count, (about 60)with 
White-winged Scorer, American Wigeon, Canvasback, Pintail, and Black Duck being 
notable. Upon returning home, I discovered a rogue Parakeet in my backyard. 
He's here as I type this. Does he count? 
I thank Andrew Don and Rob Palin for their great assistance, and also Dave 
Milsom for his tireless work in putting these many OFO outings together.

[Ontbirds] Hamilton OFO outing info

[olivesided via ONTBIRDS]

Hi all!
It's time once again for our annual Hamilton and HSA(Hamilton Study Area) trip. 
We will be starting promptly at 8 AM tomorrow, meeting at Hutch's on the beach. 
Tomorrow's weather is not supposed to be particularly comfortable. A high of 40 
Celsius with high humidex is predicted. Bring water, sun screen, etc. We will 
go until it's unbearable. 
As seems to be the trend, weather will not be conducive for a seabird watch. 
That said we will scour the beach to see if anything is about.
There is a chance I take a handful of folks looking for Nelsons Sparrows if the 
heat hasn't stopped us!
See you tomorrow and enjoy the convention.

[Ontbirds] Long-billed Dowitchers, Saltfleet, May 04

[olivesided via ONTBIRDS]

May the 4th be with you, birders.
This morning I located a distant Dowitcher at the back of a flooded field on 
5th Road East, in Saltfleet. It was unidentifiable to species.
Cheryl Edgecombe later followed up on my report, and located 3 Dowitchers that 
were thankfully much closer for viewing. Many photos were taken and shorebird 
experts have determined these are Long-billed. Very rare in The Hamilton Area 
in spring. A little bit of team work goes a long way! 
The birds are in a flooded field on 5th Road East in Stoney Creek, and this 
area is also known as Saltfleet. The birds are on the west side, between Green 
Mountain Road and PowerLine Road. There are over 100 mixed Yellow legs, 20 
Pectoraletc.  The area is now prime to attract more rarities and should 
be checked regularly 
Any additional info can be obtained via text or call to me or my assistant at 
289 456 6502. Thanks to Bob Curry and Rob Dobos for their expertise and to Rich 
HUP Poort for great photos. 


Good birding

The bird was seen again by Barb Charlton and David Pryor along the hedgerow
east of 10th Road east.  Look low in the shrubs.  This bird is feeding on
the ground in the wind and cold. Sometimes it is perched up higher but most
times its been down out of the wind.

Kudos to Bryan Wylie who first brought this bird to our attention and got it
right.  A rare bird in this neck of the woods/field.

[Ontbirds] Lesser Yellowlegs @ Hamilton, Nov. 22/2016

[olivesided]

Birders, 
Alan Wormington always told me that there was no such thing as winter listing. 
This always confused me as he kept and had an impressive winter list! This post 
is in the spirit of the winter list!
There has recently been a Lesser Yellowlegs at the Red Hill Stormwater Pond in 
Hamilton. It's very late for this species. Since it may stay to December 1st 
and a lot of you may have your eye on the Chatham Western Sand (great bird 
Steve!), I figured a post today would help in planning a potential route for 
Dec 1.
The pond can be accessed by QEW Niagara, just south of the Skyway Bridge in 
Burlington. Take the Red Hill Creek expressway exit. While on the exit note a 
marsh to your right. As the ramp starts to slope up, and to the right, note a 
gravel road to take to the pond. Please put 4 ways on well before and keep to 
the right. 
There is also a Killdeer here which may stay  
Good winter birding all

[Ontbirds] Snowy Egret at Windermere wetland, Hamilton, July 26

[olivesided]

Posting for Kevin McLaughlin. 
Kevin discovered this bird at 715 Am and I arrived not long after and saw and 
photographed this bird at the back of the wetland. Shortly after it flew 
south(red hill pond?) and I did not see it again, though it was flying low. 
Those that remember last year's bird will recall it going hours, and one time, 
a week or so, with no sightings.  So it may end up back in the wetland or along 
the creek.
From the QEW Niagara get off at Eastport. Stay on Eastport and eventually after 
an RV dealership and then an unused white warehouse on your right, the entrance 
is a bit hidden on your right. Park and follow walkway to viewing area with 
interpretive signage.
Good find Kevin!

excellent light. I got some video even.Still on east side but goes under the 
pier too. Not hanging with Long tailed ducks also here  
What a bird Mark Jennings!
Take the QEW Toronto and exit Burloak Drive. Take Burloak to souther  terminus 
at Lakeshore and turn left . On your right is south shell park. Gates are 
closed now but will open soon. So for now park on side street.  Bird is hanging 
out at pier mostly but does drift about

  Joanne,
  The 
  Common Eider did reappear on the west (right) side of the pier.  It swam 
  back to the tip, spent much time right under that end of the pier.  The 
  setting sun showed up the eider well, so that its shape & colour was 
  nicely visible.   However a scope was needed.
  Thank 
  you Mark for returning to help me locate this (un) Common Eider.   
  The question remains: How long has this bird been here? How long will it 
  remain?

  The Common Eider reappeared briefly at the end of the pier (right side) 
  and then disappeared back to the left.  We did not see it when we went 
  back to the left side of the pier but it must still be there behind the 
  pier.

[Ontbirds] Chuck Wills Widow at Point Pelee May 12

[olivesided]

Birders
At approximately 840 pm a large night jar with broad head and stiff wing beats 
flew from the Tilden Woods area, across the VC parking lot, and dove into 
forest behind VC. At around 8 51 or so a group of 6 birders heard several times 
the call of the Chuck Wills Widow coming from South of the VC. To compare and 
contrast an Eastern Whip Poor Will responded a couple times to the chuck While 
common nighthawks flew overhead . 3 Night jars, 1 lot. 
This bird should be audible very early tomorrow morning from just behind the 
visitor Centre.  
The VC is located on point pelee drive in the park itself.

Re: [Ontbirds] Golden-crowned Sparrow - Lowville Park, Lowville (north of Burlington)

[olivesided]

The bird is around today. Rich Poort and I independently heard the distinctive 
song at a distance.We were then invited briefly onto private property where the 
bird had been seen and with a group of white throated sparrows. The bird sang 
at very close range to us two more times. It is in a dense muddy thicket and 
the birds are just starting to resurface as it warms. Undoubtedly I think that 
the bird will be seen and heard near the bridge that crosses the creek in the 
NW of the park as sparrows become active. Please note we did NOT see the bird 
and all we have so far is audio so if you do make the trip I want to make this 
perfectly clear that we did not have a visual. 

Please note:  there is no access to private property in this area.  The
homeowners do not want people on the property.  You must park at the park
itself as the end of Lowville Road is a no parking area and you will be
ticketed.  The top of the stairs is also private property, please be
respectful of the landowners there and if you are asked to leave, please do
so.  There are many areas in the park this bird could resurface.

Directions:

Take Guelph Line north past Britannia Road to Lowville.  About .8 km past
Britannia you will see a small Bistro on the corner of Lowville Park Road.
The entrance to the park is off here and there is a large parking lot.

[Ontbirds] Red -throated and Common Loon, Dunnville on Grand River

[olivesided]

Whike scanning a load of Geese on the Grand River in Dunnville,  I discovered  
Red-throated Loon and Common Loon below the dam in the heart of the city. The 
Common is directly below the falls, the Red Throated is across the river from 
me hanging with Canadas along the reedy shore. 
I think Red Throated is a pretty good bird on an inland river anytime hence the 
post. Scope required.

Re: [Ontbirds] [hamiltonbirds] King Eiders - Fruitland Road- Stoney Creek Dec 2

[olivesided]

Following the post by Josh Vandermeulen, I came to Fruitland Road at the lake 
to look for both Eiders that were reported. I found the female west of the 
lookout, close to shore with a few Merganser. The young Male took some work but 
I did find him straight out amongst all the Long-tailed. 
As I scanned I located a 3rd Eider, another female King, about as far out as 
the male, but west about 150 m. She is much richer in cinnamon colour than the 
bird currently closer to shore. 
If my hunch is right there are several along shore here and maybe a Common. Get 
out there and check the lake. 
Also of note a Red-throated Loon off Green Road jyst west of here,this morning, 
which can be tough here for the winter list. 
Fruitland road is acessed off the QEW Niagara in Stoney Creek. Get off and 
drive north to the lake. View.

Taking advantage of the calm lake conditions, I scoped the ducks from the end 
of Fruitland Road. A female King Eider was located fairly distant to the west 
with some scoters, though not far offshore. This is probably the bird found by 
Brandon Holden and seen by several parties yesterday and today. I also 
discovered a second King Eider, this one a young male. It was straight out and 
a bit to the right, about 200-300 m offshore. 

Good birding,
Josh

Hey
I am watching 2 Pomeraine Jaegers terrorize gulls in front of Lakeland Centre. 
One is so relentless it may be a Parasitic actually.  Good conditions exist for 
pelagics today. Very cold. 
Lakeland is on Van Wagners Beach Blvd just south of Beach Blvd and runs 
parallel to QEW Niagara.  It is north of Hutchs Restaurant on the same size.

There are approximately 15 birders looking in various locations and the bird

[Ontbirds] NO GREY KINGBIRD At Hillman Marsh, Dickcissel nearby, May 29

[olivesided]

As a follow up to my earlier post, the Grey Kingbird was not seen or relocated 
today at all after the initial 9 am sighting. There were many birders scouring 
the area. It may show up tomorrow but I wanted to try and save birders time and 
money so they don't drive all the way there to find out its not around anymore.
As a consolation prize, Lisa and I discovered a male dickcissel about ten 
minutes from Hillman Marsh, at the Campers Cove Road field east of 
wheatley.This has been a traditional spot for this species in the past but we 
had not seen any reports yet this season.

Seen on fields and by road on Valens Road between safari road and 8th 
Concession between homes 1467 and 1428. It generally was on the ground or low 
in trees and on both sides of the road. We got great views but since it is so 
rare we are being cautious.

[Ontbirds] SUMMER TANAGER, Edgelake Park, Stoney Creek, May 12

[olivesided]

Hey,
About 10 minutes ago I discovered an adult male Summer Tanager across from 
edgelake park in stoney creek. 
It's currently in the top of a leafed out deciduous tree coloured with green 
and rusty buds. This tree is directly behind s tree with a black beware of dog 
sign.
It's catching the odd bee but otherwise not moving so patience will be required 
to see it move.

Qew niagara to centennial pkwy go left to north service road. Go right on n 
service then left on teal and right on church parking is on left. Look for 
giant Brown ranch home which is the house
