On Wed March 14th about noon we spotted 11 bald eagles (immatures) on the edge
of the ice
overlooking Hamilton Harbour. We were situated on Eastport Dr just west of the
Lift Bridge. A flock of
about 50 long-tailed ducks were at the Lift Bridge. On Tues 13th we also saw a
white-winged scoter
with the long-tails. Dinny and Neil Nimmo

On Thursday, March 15, 2007 at approximately 7:45 a.m. I observed a Meadowlark,
presumably Eastern, sitting on a fence
post beside Highway 3 approximately 1 kilometre south-east of the Cameron
Sideroad near the Town of Essex. I turned
around at Cameron Sideroad and went back towards the bird, but as soon as I
pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway
it flew off into the corn stubble in the field and I could not re-locate it.
Eastern Meadowlark was observed during the breeding bird atlas in the square
immediately south-west of the Town of Essex
on the Gesto Road, approximately 10 kilometres from where the bird was observed
this morning. It represents an early
sighting for Essex, but I have had sightings as early as March 2nd at Point
Pelee.

Jim Fairchild and I had an Eared Grebe at Humber Bay East around 1:00 today.
The bird was first observed just east of the little footbridge north of the
parking lot and it continued east out into the bay.
We also had 4 Horned Grebes on the lake side and 4 Song Sparrows near the
maintenance building.
Continuing over to Colonel Sam Smith Park, we had 4 more Horned Grebes and 6
Red-necked Grebes.
Humber Bay East Park is located at the foot of Parklawn Road.
Colonel Sam Smith Park is located at the foot of Kipling Avenue.
