2011-08-23 Thread James Hirtle
Hi all: Forgive me if I post something that is not out of the ordinary for this time of the year here. I'll only post what I would find of interest. On August 19, I saw a great cormorant at Ontario Island by the ferry terminal. I'm not sure if they are uncommon here or not, but all of the o

Hi all: Yesterday at Baptiste Lake South, Millionaires Lane #80 and #227 just beyond. Four black-throated blue warblers with three males and one female. I believe on my first day here that the warbler that I saw from habits and call was actually a juvenile black-throated blue warbler. Tod

Hi All: I will be driving to Ontario and will be on Baptiste Lake, near Bancroft, between, Sept. 22-25 and the 30. If anyone could give me some pointers on birding spots in that area I would be most appreciative. Even better if anyone is going out during the time that I will be there and I

Hi all: This is my first posting to the site. I keep track and watch all of the great birds you have here usually from home in Nova Scotia. I'm currently visiting the Oakville/Bronte area and I must say that I am impressed with all of the buffer zones and trails in the area. My hat off to t
