Hi Ontbirders,
For those going to look for the Cave Swallow (see Bruce di Labio’s posts) note
that there are two swallows present, but only one is a Cave Swallow, so be sure
to look carefully. There are lots of birders present at the site just now to
help you sort them out. Good luck!

At 9:00 a.m. I had a single swallow with a buffy rump patch by the lake at
the end of Point Petre Road. I observed it for about two minutes but it
was hard to follow in the wind and the lighting wasn't good enough to pick
out other field marks. It flew off to the west twice and returned, but not
This morning there was a flock of Bohemian Waxwings 35+ on Queen St. near
Bonnie Doon Rd. All Bohemians,

Myself and Joshua D. Vandermeulen have just returned from Netitishi Point on
southern James Bay, where we were present on the dates of October 21 to

In total we saw a total of 83 species. Here are some of our highlights:

One on October 29;
A visiting birdwatcher recorded in the Presqu'ile Bird Sightings book that he
heard only a Boreal Chickadee in the Fingers at Presqu'ile today (Nov. 3/12).
A barred owl was also seen in this area and a Rough-legged Hawk was seen
elsewhere in the park.

As one might expect, owing to rather poor migration conditions over the last

And this day was perfect. For them and for our
