While out for a drive today which ended at the in-laws in Spring Water township, we were in and out of rain in the 11th line and 20 Sideroad area north of Bradford. We did however, manage to see what appeared to be an Indigo Bunting fly in front of the car while stopped on 11th line at 20 Sideroad. In Barrie, rain stopped, but cold winds made it feel more like November then May. Nonetheless, a Ruby-throated Hummingbird, female, was at the feeders, I managed a few photos. What a hearty little bird. They have been present for a couple of days now as per my in-laws report. I haven't seen any further reports on the Sandhill Cranes in the Bradford/Innisfil area. I suspect they have moved on? Nice area, beautifal farm lands, map of area: http://maps.google.ca/maps?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GFRD,GFRD:2008-11,GFRD:en&q=Innisfil,+ON,+Canada&um=1&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&resnum=1&ct=title Glenn www.flickr.com/steplock _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
