Hi Everyone
Ben and I spent a good part of today birding Amherst Island. Overall,a good

In 10.5 hrs. of continuous observations we had a total of 534 Whimbrel

Britannia\Mud Lake in the open area north of the sumac field. After a couple of
minutes, the bird disappeared (presumably flew out of the back of the bush it
was in). Efforts to relocate it, despite assistance from a couple o

Hi All
I arrived at the Visitor Centre this morning, to be greeted by the call of
a Fish Crow. The bird was first found by Mike Nelson. It was calling
