Frequently we have birds that may be lingering but have not been
reported on Ontbirds recently. With almost 3000 readers we can't handle
the volume if everyone has questions.
One alternative is eBird. You probably have to register (which is not
difficult) at ebird.org (ebird.ca is the same thing sort of). Under the
category (tab) View Data select the first option Range and Point Maps.
Enter the species you are interested in as well as a date range then
zoom into your area of interest and click on the sighting balloons. That
will give you dates. Click on a checklist link will give you additional
details.
In the case of the Great Gray Owl near Kingsville most recent date is
Jan 11. Not encouraging.
In the case of the male King Eider at Port Weller - Feb 2.
