Well can the weather be too nice? Yup .. it was gorgeous, sunny and very warm and that stalled almost all the bird movement along the lakeshore and add to that both - Cranberry and Oshawa Second Marsh were drawn down so much that almost no water at all exists now ... this made for a challenging day as 15 TOCers worked the Durham shore from Whitby to Oshawa. Stops at Cranberry Marsh, Pringle Creek, Thickson Point and Oshawa Second Marsh eventually yielded 51 species of birds. The highlights included over 50 pipits, 9 Brant and 2 Black-bellied Plovers.
Thanks to all who attended and enjoyed the lovely weather with me!
