Re: [Ontbirds] Horned Grebe near Exeter, Huron Cty

[Rick Thornton]

Folks Just a quick reply to Ontbirds as I had so many send me an email with 
suggestions and recommendations.
The little 'fella' appeared to be in very good shape and healthy and strong. A 
co-worker took it home and released it to open water. Here's hoping it makes it 
to warmer climes.
Thanks again for all the emails.

[Ontbirds] Horned Grebe at Laurel Creek C.A. Waterloo

[David Gascoigne and Miriam Bauman]

Today there were at least three and possibly more Horned Grebes at Laurel Creek 
Conservation area. They were easily visible from the concrete culvert on Beaver 
Creek Road, along with a dozen or more Pied-billed Grebes. While this species 
is certainly not a rarity it is the first time I have ever seen them here and 
local birders will probably be interested.

Directions: Beaver Creek Road runs off Conservation Drive, west of Westmount 
Road.

[Ontbirds] HORNED GREBE, RED-NECKED GREBE, various waterfowl at Mitchell Wetland (Lagoons)

[Dave Brown]

Hi All,

I managed to take a jaunt out to the Mitchell Wetland ponds (former sewage 
lagoons) this afternoon and found that all ponds are now completely free of 
ice...and indeed the water levels are the highest I've seen in a long time.

Highlights were a single HORNED GREBE that's close to completing its 
pre-alternate molt. and a single RED-NECKED GREBE that's pretty much completed 
its molt. They were easily seen in the last pond at the furthest back left of 
the property.

I also spotted my first male Tree Swallow for the season cruising low over the 
water of the same cell.

There was also a good variety of waterfowl in this same cell:

American Wigeon   - 10 Pair
Northern Shoveler - 1 Pair
Ruddy Duck- 3 Pair and 4 lone males
Redhead   - 2 Pair
Ringed-necked Duck- 17 pair and 3 lone males
Lesser Scaup  - 15 pair
Bufflehead- 22 pair
Green-winged Teal - 2 pair
Blue-winged Teal  - 1 lone male
D.C. Cormorant- 5 in flight (did not land)
Mallard   - 2 Pair

Also had 20+ singing Savanah Sparrow, 6 Song Sparrow and 4 Horned Lark.

Good Birding!

[Ontbirds]Horned Grebe-Fort Erie and Common Redpoll-Chippawa

[Jean and Bob]

Hello All,

Today, December 29, my wife and I birded the Niagara River from Fort Erie to 
Chippawa and

observed many birds.   South of the International Railway Bridge (from the
parking area near Catherine Street), we observed a Horned Grebe at 12:00 pm.
Thanks to the visiting U.S. birders for pointing it out and the Fort Erie
birders allowing us a better view through their scope. A Common Loon was
also observed in this area of the river.


From the Niagara Parkway near the north end of Central Avenue in Fort Erie,

we observed 6 Iceland Gull.

In the area of Miller's Creek Marina at 1:00 pm, 70 Tundra Swan were
observed.

At the feeders in Chippawa at 2:00 pm, we observed 3 Common Redpoll,
possibly a total of 6 were present.  3 Tufted Titmouse were also observed.

Bob Highcock  Jean Hampson
St. Catharines, ON

Directions:

In Fort Erie, exit the QEW at the Central Avenue exit.  Turn right on to
Central Avenue and continue towards the river and head north (turning left)
on the Niagara Parkway (Niagara Blvd.).  The parking area south of the
International Railway Bridge is 1.5 km from the south end of Central Avenue
and on the right.  Catherine Street will be on the left.   Roughly 0.5 km
further north is where the north end of Central Avenue meets the Niagara
Parkway.  Miller's Creek Marina is 5-6 km from Catherine St., heading north
on the Niagara Parkway.

The Feeders in Chippawa:


From Tim Horton's turn left on to Portage Rd., turn left at Chippawa

Parkway, turn right at Thomas Street.  The feeders are at the last house on
the right.

   An  early  Spring visit to Minesing Swamp this afternoon brought mixed
   results.  The  McKinnon Road entrance was flooded and inacessible. But
   the  n.e.  section  off  Ronald  Rd.  near the village of Minesing was
   loaded  with  waterfowl, including 2 Greater White-fronted Geese. Also
   seen  here  were  Canada  Geese,  Mallards, Black Ducks, Pintail, Wood
   Duck, Common Goldeneye, Common Mergansers, Killdeer, Rough-legged Hawk
   (dark-phase),  Northern  Harrier, many Wild Turkeys, Horned Larks, and
   blackbirds. The gulls included 3 Glaucous.
Herring Gulls were seen on 4 occasions capturing Meadow Voles
   which had been forced to surface from their flooded burrows.
   Directions:  From  Barrie,  take  #  90  west towards Angus. At George
   Johnston  Rd. (#28), go north to Minesing village. Turn left on Ronald
   Rd. Go about 2 kms. to flooded fields on the south side.
