Lots of early morning activity in Scugog the last few days ... Good numbers of Bobolinks, Baltimore Orioles, Red-eyed Vireos, flickers and swallows moving through daily. Smaller numbers of Purple Finches, Eastern Phoebes and blackbirds. Up to four Ruby-throated Hummers fighting over the feeders. Lots of warblers but they don't stop very often (fly overs mostly) so ID has been problematic.
Highlights: 3 Olives-sided Flycatchers today (2 together at 7 a.m. and a single at 9:15) Eastern Bluebirds daily 23 Eastern Kingbirds yesterday 2 Common Loons yesterday - first of the season for me All sightings near Reach St. and Lakeridge, Scugog Twp.
