Hi Ontbirders
Today, August 7, 2004 I observed 2 adult & 2 juvenile Red-headed
Woodpeckers in the burn area at Constance Bay. This is the 3rd
consecutive year that they have successfully bred. Also present was a
recently fledged family of Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers. The warbler
migration is underway, I observed numerous Yellow Warbler, Black &
White Warbler, American Redstart, Northern Waterthrush and 2 Cape May
Warblers in my backyard in Carp this afternoon.. Along the Ottawa River
at Britannia I saw my first juvenile Bonaparte's Gulls of the fall.
good birding
