At 3:00pm, Thursday, August 7th, 2003, this is the Hamilton Naturalists' Club Birding Hotline Report. The Hotline is normally revised on Thursday, unless an unusual bird turns up in the Hamilton area.
Thanks to Mike Street for bringing my attention to Project Nighthawk, which monitors the migration of Common Nighthawks from mid-August to the beginning of September. If you'd like more details about how to participate in Project Nighthawk, please contact the Hotline via e-mail or telephone. More shorebird reports this week. A WILLETT was spotted at the Grimsby Sewage Lagoons, while 11 species of shorebirds were reported from the Townsend Sewage Lagoons, including SEMI-PALMATED PLOVER, KILLDEER, LESSER YELLOWLEGS, SEMI-PALMATED SANDPIPER, LEAST SANDPIPER, PECTORAL SANDPIPER, SPOTTED SANDPIPER, SOLITARY SANDPIPER, STILT SANDPIPER, RUDDY TURNSTONE and WILSON'S SNIPE. Other local reports include OSPREYS at Valley Inn and over the High Level Bridge, SORA RAIL at Courtcliff Park, HOODED WARBLER, LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH, TUFTED TITMOUSE and BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO on the North Shore Trails at the RBG, as well as a possible EURASIAN COLLARED DOVE on the Burlington lakeshore. That's all for this week, be sure to let us know about your sightings. Leave your name, telephone number, as well as the time and date of your call. Sightings can also be reported by e-mail.
