Hi all,
Wed. Oct 29 at ~4pm on Lake Parkway just north of Ipperwash Road near
#6300(watch for yellow tractor with dinosaurs painted on it) a feeding frenzy
of this flock of birds in spruce trees loaded with cones(a few Siskin were
among them).
~3:30pm on the beach north of Kettle Point ~20 Snow Bunting, lots of Am.
Tree Sp. and juncos. Also 2 Horned Grebe in the small marina south of the
point.
At ~2pm at Hiawatha Horse Park, south of Hwy #402 and west of Airport
Road I saw 3 adult and 1 juvenile Snow Goose - all white morph with a few
hundred Canadas.
~noon at Cedar Grove Marina I saw 2 Tundra Swan, 1 Lesser Black-backed
Gull and a variety of waterfowl.
Before leaving home at my feeders I had a Fox Sparrow, 2 Golden-crowned
Kinglet, 4/5 White-throated Sparrow, a dozen juncos and the usual 4/6 Tufted
Titmouse.
There are some interesting birds around this week. I'll scout out the area
again, including Pinery P.P. plus GB/Forest lagoons Fri/Sat to prepare for OFO
field trip Sun Nov 2 - remember clocks go back 1 hour - we meet at Sobey's
08:30 EST.
Cheers! Maris Maris Apse 10094 Red
