[Ontbirds] Fish Crow - Point Pelee Visitor Centre

2017-04-30 Thread Jeremy Bensette via ONTBIRDS
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!
