Good Morning Fellow Birders,
Our yard has been teeming with Baltimore, Orchard Orioles (a couple of them
with hay and dead grass in their beaks) and Ruby Throated Hummingbirds this
week. I am having difficulty keeping the feeders well supplied. Several
times in my count of the Orioles I had well over 20 of them at the four
feeders I have up for them at the same time. They would all come into the
yard at the same time and perch on the Cranberry Bush or Black Walnut tree
close to a particular feeder perched on the branches waiting in line for
their turn at the feeder.
To top off the excitement in our yard a Red Headed Woodpecker, Rose Breasted
Grosbeak, 2 Indigo Buntings, 2 House Wrens, Great Blue Heron flying over my
water garden, several White Crowned Sparrows scratching in my flour bed.
On my way home from work I stopped off Liberty in Bowmanville at the St.
Mary Cement Marsh to observe the Osprey platforms. Two of them are now
accupied with two Osprey in each one of them.
Directions: Take exit # 440 off Highway 401 on Mill St. S., Newcastle till
you reach 590 Mill St. For the Ospreys take exit Liberty St. S. Bowmanville
and keep turning right everytime you have an opportunity to turn and
eventually come to Cove Rd. and see the four platforms built for the
Ospreys.
