Around 8:30 last evening, making a quick stop on the way home from a Birdathon in Long Point area, we (and one other birder) saw 3 flocks of scoters. The first two were in flight, with 32 and 4 respectively (all White Wing), and the third was sitting on the lake. They were quite far out, but we were able to detect at least two Surf, the others being WW.
Also at the park, we had a male first year juvenile Orchard Oriole, a N. Waterthrush, and two Egrets - a nice final bird for our count. Directions (courtesy of Wayne Renaud): The park is locate south of the intersection of Kipling and Lakeshore ... the parking lot is at the very end of Col. Samuel Smith drive, which runs south from that intersection. There is an exit off the QEW but if you miss it go to Islington, then down to Lakeshore and turn right. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
