Hi, this is my first post so I hope I do it right.
We are one beginning birder and one rusty birder, so I know many
migrants around us during our 1-hour stroll this morning at Ojibway
Nature Area starting at 9 a.m. went unidentified, however we did get
Rose-breasted Grosbeak, many Yellow-rumped Warblers, a Chestnut-sided
Warbler, a Hooded Warbler, and an Eastern Towhee singing at the very top
of a tree in the sunshine. I heard White-throated sparrow as well. About
five other species we were not able to pin down: about 3 other warblers
and possibly vireos. The morning was cool but sunny and bird activity
was just amazing.
A passerby claimed that the rufous-phase screech owl peeked out of its
nesting box (box in middle of creek by road), but we did not get to
witness that.
To get to the Ojibway Nature Area, take the Matchette Rd exit off the EC
Row as depicted in this map <http://www.ojibway.ca/map.htm>.
Happy birding. Kelly Morrissey and Sylvain Cote, Windsor
