The wind was from the South until about 1230 hrs. by 1530 it was in the west. Started with high cloud cover ended clear ski. Count started at 1020 and ended at 1530. Counted 380 BW by 1230. At 1020 there were 30 birds overhead. I am very sure my numbers are low. As a lot of the birds were passing directly over me at tree top height, I started to photograph them. Have some very good shots. This was my second trip up this year. Without a south wind (South east, South west or just South) the birds do not seem to try the island hopping to the north shore. I have birded here on and off for 12 years and this is the best I have ever seen. I sacrificed my OFO hat to Georgian Bay 60KM winds will do that. Ill order a new one this evening. Directions: Take Highway 6 to Tobermory. At the end of road is the Ferry dock, which is a great, viewing place. .

It was spotted around 4:00pm just south of the park gates. Good birding, Jeremy Hatt _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
