Hello ONTBirders,
I checked out the Moodie Drive quarry pond at around noon. There were generous
numbers of GREATER SCAUP and RUDDY DUCKS fairly close to shore. A single male
RING-NECKED DUCK was also present, as well as about forty HOODED MERGANSERS
(males and females).
Later on I checke
1 Carolina Wren sang several times today near Resources Road Ravine, which can
be reached by crossing an iron bicycle path bridge from the foot of Dee Avenue,
which is off Weston Road just south of Hwy 401. Other notable birds from an
extremely productive (for a suburban park) day on which I rec
Thanks to Willie D'Anna and Mike Galas for getting the word out on this
bird. Several other people were able to arrive in time to see it from both
the
north and south ends of Lasalle Park in Buffalo. Literally POINT BLANK looks
as the bird cruised along the shoreline just off of the raili
This afternoon at about 3:00 I found nine Snow Geese in a field along
Eagleson Road near Brownlee Road. They were in two small groups fairly
close together: one group of four white morph adults, and one group of five
- two white adults and three grayish juveniles. Several hundred Canada

Snowy owl spotted sitting at the end of the first point that juts out
south into lake Ontario at the second gate. It is 1:05 as I type this
from the spit, with the bird in view. It was spotted by two gentlemen
who were nice enough to point it out to me. The bird is heavily
barred and look
The 2 ridiculously tame Purple Sandpipers are still foraging in the extreme
SW corner of Cobourg harbour, out of the cold NW wind. Of the 5 Dunlin
nearby, 2 are unfortunately quite badly oiled.
The 3 Brant - one rather worn adult and 2 much more dapper young - have been
grazing on the lawns around
11:45 a.m. Sunday - Jim Pawlicki just called to report an adult Black-legged
Kittiwake right along the shore at LaSalle Park in Buffalo. This park is
about 1/2 mile south of the Peace Bridge and can be accessed via the Porter
Avenue exit from I-190. Ontario birders probably would not be able to s
