Bonsoir,
2 Caspian Tern were discovered sunday afternoon hunting in Laperrière
Bay, on Lake Temiskaming. They were hunting mostly on Québec side,
but they made a couple of turns close to Mission St-Claude, Ont.
Directions: Go to Ville-Marie Qc, 5 hours north of Toronto. Follow
the sign to Vieux-Fort/Park Canada. The bay is located south of the
historical site. There you will be on the east side of Lake
Temiskaming. Bye

Hello again all.
This morning Stan Bajurny and I went down to Cootes Paradise in Dundas and
in the marsh just east of the Willows Pond we found 2 Sharp-tailed Sparrows
and a likely 3rd bird.
Also seen were Pileated Woodpecker, Rusty Blackbirds, Merlin, Cooper's
Hawk, Great Egret, Marsh Wren, a few Warbler species (no Swainson's Warbler
this time, but who needs it after yesterday) and a singing Carolina Wren.
We then dropped into Shell Park in Oakville but did not see a White-winged
Dove but did find another Merlin hunting Dragonflies, a Red-Shouldered Hawk
and a Sharp-shinned Hawk at first hawking dragonflies and then toying with
an American Crow, Swainson's Thrushes (that's Thrushes) a 1st Brown Creeper
and White-crowned sparrows of the season and a good variety of commoner
birds.
COOTES PARADISE IN DUNDAS
>From Toronto drive west on the QEW until you come to the Y intersection in
Burlington of the QEW and Hwy 403. Take Hwy 403 to the Main Street exit in
Hamilton and drive right to Main Street West. Turn left on Main Street and
drive past the McMaster University Medical Centre to Cootes Drive on the
right. Drive down Cootes Drive to the bottom of the hill where the road
crosses a small bridge, continue on to York Rd (the 1st lights), turn around
here and drive back towards the bridge and park just short of this bridge.
The beginning of the trail is across Cootes Drive This is an extensive marsh
and there are several trails. If you cross the small bridge just down the
trail and go to your left after crossing this same small bridge then right.
Go straight ahead and look for the Sparrows out in the marsh grasses ahead
and beyond the dried up pond on the your left and beside Paradise Point.
NOTE:- The above mentioned bridge has been knocked slightly askew by a tree
that has fallen across it. It is still a solid structure but you will have
to go under said tree on your hands and knees.A small price for good birds.
SHELL PARK
Shell Park is located on Lakeshore Road in between Burloak and Bronte Road
in Oakville.
