Hi Chatters.
I can only speak for this southern part of Ontario, down to
Lake St Clair and up to Grand Bend.
The late Dennis Rupert and myself had a LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE on the
same corn crib two years running on March 4th. many years ago at Mitchell's
Bay. They seem to move in the first week of March. The NORTHERN SHRIKES
have consistently moved after March 15th. We have seen six along a few
miles of one road around that date and expect to see them this next week.
As a Ps. There are approximately 10,000 Tundra Swans off Greenway
Rd. and spread around the same area are an estimated 1,000 LAPLAND
LONGSPURS, many in almost full breeding plumage.
The Swans are just off Highway 21 about 8 miles South of Grand Bend
and behind The Lambton County Museum. (Which is having a special day with
guest speakers and some Raptors tomorrow, Sunday 14th. March).
Is this helpful?
Good Birding. Alf.
