Things sure can change from one day to the next. On Saturday morning at the tip of Pelee, there were 81 Great Black-backed Gulls alone amongst the many other larids there. Yesterday morning (Sunday) there were hardly any gulls, relatively speaking. However, an adult Thayer's Gull in basic plumage was very conspicuous amongst the sprinkling of Ring-billeds and Herrings in its company. Its very round head, wholly dark eye, and distinctly narrow bill made it exceptionally easy to locate and ID. There were numerous Pine Siskins and Purple Finches in the park. An adult Golden Eagle flew over Sturgeon Creek (at the Day's Inn) at about 11:15 a.m. In the early afternoon, there were at least 2 Snow Buntings at Wheatley Harbour (thank you, Marianne Reid), but apparently no Red Phalarope.

The Golden-crowned Sparrow appeared at 7:10 a.m. along with fox, white-throated, song and tree sparrow. It fed for about 5 minutes and then went back into the bush. Directions: Take 401 to Salem. Exit Salem and head South to Bayly Road, Turn east on Bayly and continue past Lakefield Road to Halls Road. Head down Halls Rd to the second entrance to Cranberry Marsh. Head up the trail to the picnic table and this is where the bird has been feeding. There was snow this morning, not enough to stay but it was cold!!!

More groups have yet to report, but I think their reports will not contain any County records so I can give you the highlights of the finds from Pr. Edw. Pt. for Sunday 7 Nov 04.
