Dear Eagle Beagles,
The Juvenile Golden Eagle took my breath away again yesterday, Wednesday, March 17th, flying over the Minesing Wetlands at approximately 2 PM near Concession 6 Sunnidale. Also observed were two stately adult Bald Eagles, several Rough-legged Hawks (both Dark and Light Morphs), Red-tailed Hawks and abundant waterfowl. Gathering calls of Canada Geese were punctuated by the faint tinkling of Horned Larks. A solitary Snow Bunting crossed my path on Strongville Road. Later I observed 3 Turkey Vultures at different times along the Nottawasaga River near Wasaga Beach. (2 could have been the same bird) Today, Thursday, March 18th at 12:30 in the flooded sod fields on McKinnon Road, over 40 Northern Pintails graced my view with their elegance. Other species were there, but beyond the reach of my bins. 3 Dark Morph Rough-legged Hawks soared, hung, glided and hovered effortlessly above 9292 between 30 to 1000m up. My lunch break is over too quickly. Namaste Chris Evans, Midhurst Minesing Wetlands are West of Barrie and North of Simcoe County Road 90 (Peacekeepers' Way) _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
