Dear Fellow Birders Did my own route with a few friends in the Fisherville area today and turned up many good birds, most similar to the OFO trip. At the Grand River we also had a Song Sparrow, quite tough to be seen on a day like today. Had two adult Bald Eagles at the open water at the eastern edge of the power plant (one of which was later seen at Selkirk) as well as a Great Blue Heron. There were not many Redtails at the chicken farm near Willowgrove, maybe two dozen. And at the open stream from the Steel Co. near the power plant there wasn't anything other than scaup and goldeneye. At Selkirk we had several A. Robins, 2 Long-eared Owls, and a Golden-crowned Kinglet. And at the raptor preserve there was at least one Rough-legged Hawk, 7+ Short-eared Owls, 6+ N. Harriers, and Horned Larks (must be spring). Also near Reg. Rd. 53 and Conc. 4 there were two 2nd year Bald Eagles flying together.
Directions: Chicken Farm - From Hwy 6 south of Caledonia turn left on 4th Line. Power Plant and Steel Co. - Continue south on Hwy 6 to Reg. Rd. 55 and follow this south, at Rainham Rd make a left to the Steel Co. and a right to the power plant. Selkirk - Continue east on Rainham Rd. then make a left at Wheeler Rd. Raptor Preserve - South on Hwy 6 from Caledonia to Reg. Rd. 20 and make a left and then a right onto Reg. Rd. 53, then a left onto Conc. 6. Mike Boyd Guelph, Ontario Mike Boyd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
