There were no real highlights this week.
It was a rather quiet week, threatening rain most days but very little
actually fell.
Apologies for the late post.
Lark Sparrow at Prince Edward point bird observatory today.
Initially flushed like drab Towhee at dawn, showing white tail sides, but had
grey rump and streaks on uppersides. Face pattern diagnostic. Seen hopping
under bobolink nets at 615 am, then photos about 630
The Yellow-crowned Night-Heron in Cambridge was still present today a couple of
metres down stream from the bridge until a photographer complete with waders had
to get one metre closer for his shot. It flew downstream at 1:00 p.m. My photo
was taken from the bank about half way down the slope.
