Hello Ont Birders.
Here are the results of the K.Pt. CBC.
We had 31 registered Participants who braved the cool weather and
icy streams to find the following birds.
Total Species 66. That includes the 5 PEAHENS. Total
individual birds-- 8868. Two new birds for the count-- 2 adult
LITTLE GULLS and a single PURPLE SANDPIPER.
The BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS were a very nice find. Other sightings of
note were a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK, 2 MERLINS, 3 SAVANNAH SPARROWS and an
adult YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER. (Which seems to have adopted the area
permanently!) Thanks to Everyone who Participated so enthusiastically.
