At 9:05am, Thursday, June 19th, 2003, this is the Hamilton Naturalists' Club Birding Hotline Report. The Hotline is normally revised on Thursday nights, unless an unusual bird turns up in the Hamilton area.
During a trip to the RBG Arboretum, observers were rewarded with excellent views of a singing male HOODED WARBLER. Male ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS and INDIGO BUNTINGS were also seen in this area, making for a colourful display of yellow, red, black and blue. Elsewhere, atlassing in the Ancaster area produced ACADIAN FLYCATCHER, SCARLET TANAGER, INDIGO BUNTING, CHESNUT-SIDED WARBLER, and TURKEY VULTURE. Other local reports include BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO and BOBOLINK between the 17km and 18km marks on the Jerseyville Rail Trail, SEDGE WREN and ORCHARD ORIOLE near Bronte Provincial Park, 12 RED-THROATED LOONS and a COMMON LOON on the Lake at Confederation Park, WHITE-WINGED SCOTER at the CCIW, UPLAND SANDPIPER at the intersection of 5th Avenue and 3rd Street in Louth, two SANDHILL CRANES overhead at the Dofasco Trail on the Stoney Creek mountain, plus GRAY CATBIRD, SONG SPARROW, KILLDEER, BLUE-WINGED TEAL, BROWN THRASHER, SONG SPARROW, SAVANNAH SPARROW, EASTERN KINGBIRD, EASTERN WOOD PEWEE, and CASPIAN TERN at the Grimsby Sewage Lagoons. That's it for this week, be sure to let us know about your sightings this week. Leave your name, telephone number, as well as the time and date of your call. Sightings can also be reported by e-mail.
