Greetings all: There are TWO Ruffs at Minesing Swamp today.
One has an all black head with a lighter ear patch, and the second has a dirty, rusty brown head with a black nape. Both birds are showing black on the breasts, white eye-rings, and buffy at the base of the bill. The birds were together, on the west side of McKinnon Rd., north of the power line corridor, about 40m north of house # 9205, and 125m from the road. Doug Sheepway Dave Milsom's DIRECTIONS Take Co. Rd. # 90 from Barrie west to Angus. McKinnon Road is just east of Angus to the north. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
