Hi Ont Birders.
Yesterday a pair of adult BALD EAGLEs swept
through a neighbours yard. Today there were three Imm. BALDS sitting
together on some rocks off Kettle Point.
Also today there were twelve Gt. YELLOWLEGS chasing minnows in
one of the boat channels on K. Point.
Two FIELD SPARROWS were reported, one at Hungry Hollow and one in
Point Edward.
FOX SPARROWS were singing until late morning in local gardens with
good ground cover.
On Thursday and Friday last week there were two interesting JUNCOS at
my feeders. One was an OREGON type and the other had white wing bars!
Many of the local male Juncos have left.
As a final act of fidelity, a TUNDRA SWAN stayed until it's mate died
and then moved on last evening. Sad. Probably a slow painful death
by lead shot from the East coast of the USA?
Kettle Point is a First Nations Reserve just to the north of
Forest, Ontario, off Highway 21.
Good Birding.
Alf.
