[Ontbirds] Fish Crow - Point Pelee Visitor Centre
Tim Arthur and I just found a Fish Crow eating a Jolly Rancher (it smelled like watermelon flavour) in the parking lot of the visitor centre. It was silent at first and we noted its tiny size as it stood next to Red-winged Blackbirds, bluish sheen on its back, and regularly ruffled its throat feathers in a Raven-like manner. It eventually flew for a few seconds and called a few times like a Fish Crow. Point Pelee Visitor Centre parking lot is located 3km from the end of Point Pelee Dr., the road that leads to and goes into Point Pelee (southeast of Leamington in Essex County). Good birding!

[Ontbirds] Fish Crow - Point Pelee
We just heard and saw a calling Fish Crow at the tip of Point Pelee National Park, heading north towards the Visitor Centre. We just heard and saw it again flying over the tip washrooms.

[Ontbirds] Fish Crow Point Pelee
I just heard then recorded and photographed a Fish Crow flying over the park heading south, approximately over the road beside Woodland Trail. If it continues in the same direction it will probably be at the tip any minute. Jeremy Bensette ___ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.

[Ontbirds] Fish Crow - Point Pelee National Park
Hi All I arrived at the Visitor Centre this morning, to be greeted by the call of a Fish Crow. The bird was first found by Mike Nelson. It was calling from one of the tall trees in the transit loop and was also seen sitting on the satellite tower at the rear of the Visitor Centre. There haven't been as many birders in the park this week, but the highlights from the last few days are Whimbrel (1) and Nelson's Gull at the Tip yesterday morning - Josh Vandermuelen and I found them. We also had an Acadian Flycatcher leaving the Tip in the morning. Mississippi Kite (1) was reported from the Tip yesterday afternoon - no details have been provided. Mourning Warbler was noted this morning and Blackpolls are widespread throughout the park. Many resident warblers have taken up territory, but there are still lingering migrants. The foliage is close to full leaf out - so seeing birds is getting much tougher, I did hear Black-throated blue, Northern Parula and Blackburnian yesterday in my travels. It's the time of year to keep your ears open! Good Birding everyone!

[Ontbirds]FISH CROW, Point Pelee National Park...
At 8:30am, myself and Julie Liptak saw and heard 2 Fish Crow's flying south directly above the main vehicle road directly opposite Sparrow Field. The birds called 5 or 6 times consecutively and returned 5 minutes later heading NNE, calling all the while. Keith Sealy (sp?) not more than 5mins before was describing 2 birds he heard and saw at post 16 on the Woodland Nature Trail the previous day (May 7th) advising me they were around and to watch for them...haha! In my astonishment, sure enough here they were! The birds were finally relocated again by the Borrelle (sp??...same guys that found the Burrowing Owl on Pelee Is.) brothers and their father at the cemetery at 11:58am. Thanks Keith, I believed you before ever seeing them!! Steve and Julie. Sorry no directions to PPNP, totally fried and need to be up again at 5:30am...lol.
