Hi, everyone,
I had about 20 Evening Grosbeaks briefly visit my feeders late yesterday
afternoon in Rockwood. When they took off they circled high into the
air and then flew straight southeast so I don't know if they will be
back. The direction they flew was towards the Rockwood Conservation
Area, so I think that would be the best place to look for them if they
are still around today. It was so nice to see them...it has been a while!
There were at least 3 Fox Sparrows in the Gosling Wildlife Gardens in
the Guelph Arboretum yesterday as well (thanks to all the observers who
let me know!).
There is still lots of room in our Gull Workshop for those that are
interested. Friday, November 16. 9am - 4pm. $75. Please go to
http://www.uoguelph.ca/arboretum/educationandevents/workshops.shtml for
more details and to see our other upcoming workshops (Owls, Animal
Tracking, Warblers, etc.).
Cheers, Chris Earley
