Hi All,
Someone has dropped a truckload of Golden Crowned Kinglets in Port
Burwell, at least at my place. Joined by E. Wood Pewee, Brown
Creeper, fewer but still many Cedar Waxwings feasting on my crabapple
tree. Before today we had about 100 Cedar Waxwings for the best part
of the week on this tree - it was loaded with crab apples.
In addition, we have a pair of Screech Owls paired up in a nesting box
towards the east of our place. They come out between 7:30 and 8:00 pm
so far, but sometimes peak out during the day in the afternoon too.
On top of that a pair of Coppers(?) Hawks nesting to the west of the
house high in a maple tree.
Finally, Sunday saw a Golden Eagle soar over heading eastwards (maybe
to Beamer?)
Regards,
Joe Stephenson
Directions
Port Burwell is in Bayham, Elgin County; north shore of Lake Erie, at
the terminus of Highway 19.
You are welcome to bird at our place at 3 Bridge St which is the first
right turn after the bridge as you head west. Then park at the base of
the drive and walk up.
There are other places to go here to, including the harbour and beach
area, and the Provincial Park trails.
Of course everyone probably has more birds now than they can take care
of everywhere.
