Today Maureen Riggs, Albert Boisvert, Ken Kingdon and myself observed a
TUFTED TITMOUSE, at Prince Edward Point, in Prince Edward County, south of
Belleville. It was seen on the shoulder of the road just as you pass the
main sign to the Prince Edward Point National Wildlife Area, which is just
past the Ducks Dive house. This bird was originally found by Bud Rowe and
Joel Ellis who also located a female BARROW'S GOLDENEYE in the harbour at
Prince Edward Point, which we could not locate.
Other good sightings include 1 BALD EAGLE and 1 ICELAND GULL at the
Glenora Ferry. 2 RUSTY BLACKBIRD, 40 RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD, 4 BROWN-HEADED
COWBIRD, 1 NORTHERN FLICKER, 100 AMERICAN ROBIN, 80 CEDAR WAXWING, 70 SNOW
BUNTING, 20 HORNED LARK, 40 COMMON REDPOLL, 4 WILD TURKEY and 3 SONG
SPARROW, which were all observed along County Roads 7 & 8 on the point to
Prinyer's Cove. 2 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, 1 NORTHERN SHRIKE, 3 PURPLE FINCH,
1 WHITE-THROATED SPARROW and 100's of LONG-TAILED DUCK along County Road 13
towards Prince Edward Point. In Kingston at the Hillview Marsh there was a
male NORTHERN PINTAIL. Great day with 53 species.
