On Sunday, March 20th an American Kestrel was seen perched on the poles and wires along and near Kilmaur/Dunrobin. It was flying around quite a bit in the general area. This was around 3pm.

Park today (Sunday). It was disappointing with the best viewing at Calf Pasture Point. As the interpretor said, it is too early this year. All the places for them to go are still frozen. Apparently, last year the two weekends chosen were a couple of weeks too late. He figures the best time this year will be in about 10 days from now (wait for a wind from the south). There were about 3-4 thousand birids, the usual suspects and a bonus snowy owl on the ice barely visable in a scope with a crow friend nearby. On our way back we decided to tour Prince Edward County back along Hwy 2 and right on Hwy 33. Saw a motley red tailed hawk, two flocks of well fed wild turkeys and the best surprise: about 3 thousand ducks in an ice bound bay at the quaint village of Wellington, easily viewable from your car seat. 2 GGO's on wires just outside of Belleville on Hwy 37 completed our day on the way back to Ottawa.

All in all 19 different birds where seen with very little effort between 4:45 and 6:45. Not as many as the mondo Strix period a couple months back but a respectable number none the less.
