Posting for Heather Anne Campbell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Under the very capable leadership of Blake Mann and Maris Apse (both of whom are away from their respective computers until late Sunday evening), 25 enthusiastic birders shared a very enjoyable day of early spring birding and fellowship in

[Ontbirds]Pelee Island Birds, May 8, 2005

Migration slowed to a trickle today but a VIRGINIA RAIL, SORA, and ORCHARD ORIOLE provided good views for some at Fish Point. Other were entertained by a RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH gleaning insects off the walls of the ancient lighthouse like a Eurasian Wallcreeper. The Pelee Island Bird

[Ontbirds]Red Headed Woodpecker - Southampton

I have just been watching a Red Headed woodpecker at my feeders this afternoon. It is now 4:00pm and the beautiful Adult male with brilliant red head and pure white rump was a sight to see at my suet feeder. Not very many Red Headed Woodpeckers are seen up this way anymore. Directions to my

[Ontbirds].Swainson's Thrush?

Has anyone seen a Swainson's Thrush *anywhere* in Ontario this spring? I don't believe there has been a report at Point Pelee, nor have I noticed an observation for anywhere else in Ontario. None reported anywhere in Ontario up to May 9 is certainly extraordinary, since by now they should be all

[Ontbirds]

Saturday, at about noon I found a Harris's Sparrow in a mixed flock of White-throated and White-crowned Sparrows. I was able to get a few photographs and observed it for several minutes before it move off through the woods. The bird was seen at the eastern gate of the Ducks Unlimited wetland on
