We need to get a few hens for that guy and re-establish them in the HNC area. I meant this as a joke at first; but perhaps the idea has merit. I wonder if the Jack Miner Sanctuary in Essex still has Bobwhites? On Sun, Jul 13, 2014 at 10:18 AM, Henrique Pacheco via ONTBIRDS < birdalert@ontbirds.c

Hello Everyone: I saw a group of 16 Turkey Vultures in that same location Jan 2nd from the 403 looking north. Probably the same bunch. I thought that group was well known so I did not post. I am pretty sure we would have gotten them in the Hamilton CBC December 26. Rob Porter, our proficient col

Hello: My experience was that seeing this shrike is not so easy. It is a small bird a long ways off when it is perched. Much farther than 200 metres when we saw him at twilight yesterday. If you stand at the culverts just south of Green Mountain (not the ones closer to Mud St.) and face East you

Hello Everyone: I spotted one of our Red Breasted Nuthatch's today at our feeder. I believe he is one of the uncommon resident breeders in the HSA. (Bob Curry's book) We usually get a pair during the CBC. Of interest, there are very few conifers nearby. On Sun, Jun 3, 2018 at 2:06 PM, Cheryl Edge

Hello Everyone: Yesterday at 0755 hrs I was at the 403/401 junction SE of Woodstock and saw what must have been at least 200 crows North of the highway. The sky contained this immense black cloud. I've never so many in one place. I post partly because they have their CBC tomorrow. -- Many thanks

Hello everyone: Dave Moffatt and I revisited the townsend lagoons yesterday. The cattle egrets were not present. However, we got spectacular views of an American avocet in flight as it was being hunted by a northern harrier. We also saw the white rumpled sandpiper, about six Dunlin, greater and
