While cleaning my patio today, I noticed a Carolina Wren fly underneath my
family room window. This thoughtful bird is building a nest, literally under
my nose! Carolina Wrens have been nesting successfully in South Burlington
around my house for the past several years. Two years ago I was lucky enough
to locate a nest in a planter across the street.
Adults with young have been observed for several years.

Hi Birders.
Yesterday afternoon a strange call made two of
us make a quick exit from a greenhouse and look up.
We found a NIGHTHAWK with a fast and direct flight heading north
east, parallel to the Lakeshore Road down the Glendale Beach
Road. The bird did not stop and quickly vanished behind the trees.
It was flying 100m. away and about double tree-top height and had the
appropriate white spots in the wings.
The call had the quality of a Gt. crested Flycatcher but was twice
as long and rippled.
The general appearance was of a small-headed falcon.
Glwendale Beach is north of Forest in Lambton County.
Good Birding.
Alf.
