Greetings All, I was outside on the roof fiddling with the Christmas lights when a group of 5 cranes flew overhead. They were travelling north as they followed the Lake Simcoe shoreline. Also of note was the red-bellied woodpecker which has returned to the area after a 5 month hiatus.
Beaverton is on the eastern shore of Lake Simcoe about 1h15m north-east of Toronto. A good viewing location is the harbour at the foot of Simcoe St. Here is a Google map link: https://goo.gl/maps/9nXzfwekRjv Cheers, Greg Jaski Beaverton _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
