Birder's,
Mike and I birded the Long Point area and came up with some neat stuff.
Our highlights are as follows;
- 6 Gray Partridges in the Lynedoch area, these birds were very
close to the road allowing great looks - reported earlier by George Pond
- 2 White-crowned Sparrow's at a feeder in the vicintity of the
GRPA, and 1 at Old Cut
- 10 Eastern Bluebirds also close to where the Partridges were
- 1 Carolina Wren at Old Cut
- 3 Field Sparrow's at Old Cut along fence bordering the Lighthouse
property
- 1 Chipping Sparrow with the Field Sparrow's
- 1 male Pine Warbler at Old Cut near the boat house
- 32 Sandhill Cranes west of Port Royal along hwy. 42 close to Lee
Borwn's
- ~20 Rusty Blackbirds at Turkey Point right along main road
- Red-winged Blackbirds, 5 @ Turkey Pt., ~10 between Port Rowan and
Turkey Point
- ~15 Brown-headed Cowbirds with Rusties
Also while we were at Old Cut we found an immature Cooper's Hawk
dead on the forest floor, it seemed to be fairly fresh. We speculated
that it had starved to death as the crop was totally empty. We dropped
the bird off at the Old Cut house.
Good Birding,
