Hi Folks This morning at around 11:35AM I had a single SANDHILL CRANE flying across Hwy 77 about 2 km south of the town of Comber, in Essex County. The bird was flying slowly west towards Windsor.
Around the house other signs of spring include AMERICAN GOLDFINCHES starting to moult into alternate/breeding plumage, and loads of RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS, COMMON GRACKLES AND BROWN-HEADED COWBIRDS at the feeders. We also have an EASTERN SCREECH OWL using a box just twenty feet from the kitchen window almost every day for three weeks now.
