It was a marvelous day for the TOC Durham Fall Field Day Sunday. A near record 160 species were found including the long-staying White Pelican at 2nd Marsh in Oshawa. Eleven all time high species records were set for this 77 year old event. The 12 species of butterfly represented a new high although there were no rarities. A major fallout had occurred at Hydro marsh where some groups had as many as 15 warbler species to go along with the Long-billed Dowitcher and 6 Stilt Sandpipers etc. Off Thickson Woods Glenn Coady added a new species for his yard list with a Sabine's Gull out on the lake. Many thanks to Brian Henshaw for hosting this event in his usual capable fashion. We are awaiting results from other roundups held in the city on the same day.
