Hi All! In addition to the nice birds that I saw (or didn't see as the case may be) on my journey to Sarnia yesterday, I found an 1st year, intermediate phase Red-tailed Hawk on my way home. The bird was sighted along Modeland Road - between Confederation Street and Plank Road on the east side, across from GLIS. It was sitting in a tree along a hedgerow. Back in the park - the Eastern Screech Owl has returned to its roosting hole along the main road again this winter. I've seen it most days this week. The bird is located just south of the old Camp Henry entrance (approx 500 m north of Dunes picnic area on the east side of the road). The old driveway to the camp is still present and south of it you will see a telephone pole and a two trunked cedar tree. The next large tree south of these is a hackberry tree, set in off the road about 2 metres. The hole is located up about three metres. We ask that you don't park on the road to view - if you want a closer look you can park at Dunes and walk back north along the road or the bike trail. The Visitor Centre feeder is up and active. We've had a Fox Sparrow in this week as well as a Least Flycatcher around the pond. The Visitor Centre is open on weekends throughout the winter from 10 am - 5 pm and is a great place to warm up and watch the feeder. If you are in the park during hours when the VC is not open, there are sightings sheets posted in the front foyer - record your sightings if you wish. Good birding everyone!
