On Saturday there were 18 Great Blue Herons tucked into the SE corner of the
Nanticoke Power Generating plant with a 19th out on the ice by the open
water off the power plant. Approximately 10 Bald Eagles were in the air or
sitting out on the ice by the open water. These birds were mostly immatures
of all ages with a couple of adults. 8 Tundra Swans were observed on the
water.
One of the 4 Tufted Titmice coming to a feeder along the South Shore Drive
beside Stoney Creek was located. Around 40 Red-tailed Hawks were along the
4th line between the McKenzie Rd and #6. Also alone the 2nd line between the
same 2 roads were several flocks of Horned Larks and Snow Buntings.
Short-eared Owls have started to reappear at their usual haunts after
disappearing around Christmas when heavy snow followed by a thick coating of
frozen rain made hunting almost impossible leading to a mass exodus of owls
and Northern Harriers
