This morning while putting the Garbage and Recyclables at the end of the
Drive,I heard a bird singing away as if it were Spring.I looked around at the
Hydro wires to discern if it was perhaps a Starling doing some great
mimicry.But to no avail there were no Starlings to be seen.
I then scanned the overgrown/successional Growth across the road for a glimpse
of this Bird.And here not 30 feet away was a Northern Mockingbird, eating
either Wild Grapes,Pin Cherries or some kind of Fruit.I had a good look for
well over a minute,before it flew toward the back of the property and out of
sight in some Cedars.
The Gray Body with Black wings and Characteristic White Flashes on it's wings
were easily seen with the Naked Eye.
Hwy 11 to 5th Line of Innisfil,East on fifth Line past 20 Sideroad,over Train
Tracks(very bumpy) to first street on Right(Arnold Street).Approximately across
from the 6th House in Overgrown Lot on Left side(across from 1156 )

An adult Bald Eagle was soaring over the westernmost parking lot at the
Tunney's Pasture government complex today (Sep 20) at lunch time.
Yesterday's Snow Goose was still around-a bit beyond the stone
"sculptures" in the river just east of the Remic Rapids parking lot. The
river is again very low, with much rock exposed. A few pipits could be
found, along with some shorebirds, but nothing unusual (both yellowlegs,
killdeer). A lateish Chestnut-sided Warbler was in the nearby woodlots,
along with other common migrant passerines.
The Remic Rapids parking lot is on the north side of the Ottawa River
Parkway between Parkdale Ave and Island Park Dr.

The Ruff is still at Townsend Sewage Lagoons as of this morning at 11.00 =
A.M.
It was at the eastern side of the north-east cell in the company of many =
yellowlegs and Pectoral Sandpipers.
Directions:
>From Highway 6 turn west onto Highway 3 at the village of Jarvis. After =
about 1 Km turn right (north) onto Regional Road 74. Watch for the =
gravel road on your left and the Lagoons are about 0.5 KMs down this =
road on your right.

A supergoose has shown up at Reesor Pond - is mostly
grey plumaged with black-tipped primaries beginning to
show - it looks like a juvenile but lacks the 'grin' patch and
dark legs that would identify it as a Snow goose - it has pink
legs and bill which rules out a Greater Snow Goose juvenile
- so my guess is a goose of the barnyard variety but magni-
ficent for all that [of course I have been wrong before] -
