Weekly report from the Cabot Head Research Station of the Bruce Peninsula
Bird Observatory
(October 7th 13th)
Summer was back for a week, with warm and calm. The Black-capped Chickadee
numbers are leveling off, becoming replaced by Kinglets (especially
Golden-crowned). The Kinglets were present (and captured) in impressive
number on the 10th. Hermit Thrushes have also beginning to move through, as
well as Orange-crowned Warblers, Slate-colored Juncos, Horned Larks and a
few Finches.
More specifically, a Peregrine Falcon was seen on the 7th. A late American
Redstart was caught the 8th of October. The first American Tree Sparrow was
banded the 11th, along with (probably) the last Magnolia Warbler. A young
male Northern Cardinal was seen the 13th (and caught today the 14th!).
Cabot Head Research Station is located near Dyers Bay, on the Bruce
Peninsula. Acces to the station is limited. Please contact us for a visit.
Bruce Peninsula Bird Observatory is a charitable non-profit group dedicated
