Hello! While doing the Northumberland CBC yesterday (Saturday) I observed a flock of 450+ Bohemian Waxwings in Hamilton Township, north of Port Hope. The flock was splitting and regrouping, flying between the treetops and a farm field, and feeding on some low shrubs. 215 additional birds were present between the 5th and 6th Lines nearby, for a total of 665. Quite a spectacle, and an important add to that winter list!
Happy birding! Kyle Directions: From the 401 take the Highway 28/Ontario St. exit and head north. Turn right (east) on the 5th Line. Continue until the 5th ends and bends left (north) 90 degrees, becoming Mulder Rd. The main flock was at that junction. -- Marketing and Outreach Coordinator *Wild Ontario* Email: [email protected] Web: www.ourwildontario.ca Owner *Kyle Horner Photography* Web: www.kylehorner.com Photo Blog: www.kylehorner.blogspot.com "Except for children (who don't know enough not to ask the important questions) few of us spend time wondering why nature is the way it is..." --Carl Sagan _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
