Many thanks to Peter Wukasch for finding and posting about this species
yesterday and to Kevin Shackleton for posting that it was still there this
morning. After missing the ones at Hillman Marsh and Reesor Pond over the past
week, I was relieved to get this bird for breakfast at 8:00 a.m. Grea

Ontbirds Subscribers,
Although not necessarily a bird to chase I did want to note that I had a
Common Raven carrying food over my house the other day (Monday May 14), it
was heading in an east northeasterly direction and I believe it is likely
nesting somewhere in the vicinity of Bond Lake (east s
At 2:30 today I observed a Hudsonian Godwit at the same pond where the
Marbled Godwit was seen earlier. The bird is quite plain looking and just
beginning to molt into breeding plumage, but some brick red feathering is
present on the breast and the rump is white.
Also present was a single white-r
Between 7:30 and 10:30 am this morning - in sunny cool weather I saw a
moulting Summer Tanager male land briefly in tall trees east of the "dogwoods"
and a Mourning Warbler along the east fence line at the houses. Also present
were 7 other species of warbler including many Blackpolls- most
Scoped the godwit after work today (4:00-4:15) after Craig Corcoran's
mother-in-law suggested Hudsonian. When a GB heron flew into the pond the
godwit flushed and the black-and-white tail markings were easy to see - a white
wing line in the black wings was evident too.

Thanks for checking, John. I was there for 5 minutes on my way to work this
morning and wondered about the eyeline on this bird but got talking with Peter
Wukasch and another chap, both refering to it as the Marbled so I went with the
flow the took off for Newmarket as I was running late. Craig
An unbanded male Piping Plover [complete breast band] was on the

impoundment this afternoon from at least 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
Shorebird habitat here has been excellent for weeks although very few
shorebirds have dropped in as repor

We had a light phase Rough-legged Hawk circling over Hwy 6 at the south end of
Wiarton just after noon today. I thought one we observed on May 5th at Dyers
Bay in northern Bruce County was quite late, but this one is the latest Spring
record I have had in Ontario.
Wiarton is north of Owen Sound

Hey Birders,
Overall the morning was pretty good, though things seemed to die pretty quick
in the pm, with the warm and sunny conditions. Mike and I looked extensively
for the Neotropic Cormorant, but were unsuccessful. At least 22 species of
warblers were found on the island today.
Hello fellow birders, it been a while since I posted or open the wetland, and
for that I apologize.Since we have a long weekend coming up I thought that for
those who would like to visit that I would like toopen the wetlands for the
Saturday afternoon from 1 till 5 pm.The Rails and Sora are here
Presqu'ile Provincial Park has hosted more than its share of rare birds
in the past week, but for many visitors the variety of colourful
songbirds has been the main attraction, and will probably be the drawing
card for the Warblers and Whimbrels event taking place this coming
weekend. A bird b
Heard a Yellow Rail ticking today, May 17, 2012 at 4:30 p.m. just where Judy
Kennedy heard one on Monday-- on the Bluebird Ranch on the west side of
Wylie Road, 0.4 kms north of the intersection with McNamee. It seemed to be
about 25 metres off the road.
Didn't have time to go up to Sedge Wren
Hello Ontbirders.
After a cool start, Rondeau warmed up to a nice sunny spring day with
a warbler count of 24 species. The highlight was once again the
Yellow-throated, seen regularly at a cottage on Lakeshore Road just
north of the Visitor Centre.
