2015-06-11 Thread Marcel Gahbauer
Hello, It has been a couple of days since the last report of the Little Egret in Ottawa ... it may well be far away by now. However, I thought it worth mentioning that a few minutes ago (10:10 am) I saw a smallish egret flying south over Baseline and Clyde, relatively high. Unfortunately I w

[Ontbirds] Presqu'ile Birding Report for Week Ending June 11, 2015.

2015-06-11 Thread Fred Helleiner
Just when we thought that the spring migration at Presqu'ile Provincial Park had ended, contrary evidence showed up to keep visiting birders (and local ones) on their toes. Probably the biggest surprise of the week was a very late SNOW GOOSE that sat among the CANADA GEESE on the beach on June

Ross Lamb and I enjoyed traversing Prospect Rd., Wylie Rd. and Shrike Rd. in the Carden Alvar between 9am and 3pm today. Non-birds included 8+ Butterfly species, including 1 Monarch.

[Ontbirds] Chukar - Stouffville

2015-06-11 Thread Chris Escott
I have received a report, and photo, of a Chukar, seen in the vicinity of Stouffer Street and 10th line, in Stouffville north-east of Markham. It was seen at 6:10pm on June 8th. Undoubtedly an escape, but of interest as there have been a couple of other reports in the past two years in areas no
