For those interested, the Pacific Loon, which was at the foot of Simcoe Street
in Oshawa this morning flew east after 11.00 towards Darlington and might best
be searched for from the beach off Second Marsh where it was found yesterday. A
Red-throated Loon could be seen well east of the Simcoe Stre

I located a flock of 18 Red Crossbills this morning, near Beachville, just west
of Woodstock. The Crossbills stopped briefly but then continued
swiftly westward, following the Thames River. In terms of other finches,
locally, both Pine Siskin and Purple Finch continue to be seen in
After I read the report of the Green-Tailed Towhee sighting I checked
photos of the bird on the Internet and I'm absolutely sure that I had
puzzled over one at East Humber Bay in Etobicoke around 3 weeks ago.
I thought it might've been a colour variant of a White-Throated

Forwarding this message for Rick Lauzon:
The loon was 400m west of Bonnie Brae Point and 150m offshore at 2PM today.
It was with four Common Loons - not diving often - head held consistently

Not a particularly rare species at this time of year, but I thought this
observation was worth reporting, considering the unusual location. This
morning at around 7 am (a good half hour before sunrise) I came across 3
American Pipits walking around in the parking lot on the north side of the
train
We saw a Great Black-backed Gull on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa this afternoon.
Pictures are shown at the link below. At Petrie Island, we saw the Snow
Buntings reported previously and two Merlins chasing and being chased by crows.

Hello all,
In my failed attempt to see the Pacific Loon, I ended up going to Second
Marsh to try and find it, and do some other birding as well.
I did not see the loon, but as I was walking west on the beach, several
BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEES, perhaps 15, appeared over the water and landed on
shore
This afternoon a total of 109 Swallows were seen in various sized groups
along the western end of Lake Ontario at Lakeland Centre and Fifty Point.
We have not had swallows in the area for weeks and if so they were only
single sightings. Given the strong southwest winds we are presuming these
