The Phainopepla was seen briefly by Rob Dobos at the top of a tree on
Aberdeen on the north side across from House number #7. The bird flew down
into a yard and birders are searching now. Just an FYI that the bird is
around today for those travelling long distance. The neighbours are very

Andrew Keaveney just called me to report an adult basic-plumaged Lark Sparrow
at Port Burwell Provincial Park. The bird was in the extreme NW corner of the
park. Apparently you can walk along the edge of a field heading Northwest until
you come to a line of large spruce trees. The bird was at t

Phainopepla, the bird was seen well by a large number of people this

Was just talking to Andrew Keaveney again, and he has refound the Western
Kingbird as well. It is in the area it was first reported, on the farm fence
row next to a pond on the NW part of Port Burwell. He says it is best to park

This morning at about 9:30am, I stopped quickly at Bronte Harbour to see
what was around and was greeted by 4 Cave Swallows flying around the
marina area. They headed east down the lake shore but seemed to be
thoroughly enjoying themselves in the warm weather with lots of insects
still out. I
An adult male Harlequin duck was seen this morning at Humber Bay Park
West in Toronto. It was close to shore near the Gazebo in front of the
Grand Harbour condominium.
Most of the typical winter waterfowl are also present. The Harlequin
was feeding by itself, near some Buffleheads, but not r

The Western Kingbird was still busy flycatching at Port Burwell up until 4:30
this afternoon. It's exact location is extremely difficult to explain precisely
and while all previous directions are vague, I don't know how one could improve
upon them?
I also had at least one juvenile Vesper Sparro
Bird was seen very well by me and others after 4 pm on Addington high
in a tree and also in a berry bush near 94 Addington where it stayed
for several minutes eating berries. About 1/2 hour earlier it had been
seen well by others on the next street (Aberdeen) at the same relative
