There was at least one large flock of Snow Buntings. Another observer had Cooper's Hawks in the same area before 8:30 a.m. Redpolls were heard, but not seen. A Great Blue Heron flew by.A quick trip north on Bruce Street produced a flock of roughly 60 Cedar Waxwings, an American Robin, American Tree Sparrows, a Northern Cardinal, a Downy Woodpecker as well as European Starlings and Mourning Doves.Ravenshoe Road can be reach by taking the 404 north to its terminus just south of Ravenshoe Road at Woodbine Avenue and going a short distance north to Ravenshoe Road and turning left or west and following it to its end at the Holland River.Kevin Shackleton _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
