Hi there, A group of us birded the Casselman and Saint Isidore area today (28 November) from 1230 - 1630 h. We encountered 9 Rough-legged Hawks, one of which was a striking, jet black male along Concession 19 just east of Des Noyers Rd (continuing at this location; I first observed this individual here on 21 November). We also encountered 3 Snowy Owls in our travels. A mixed flock of approximately 20 Lapland Longspurs and roughly 50 Horned Larks along Concession 20, between St. Rose Rd. and Renaud Rd. was another highlight. FYI: the Snow Geese have seemingly thinned out. We encountered a distant skein of approximately 250-300 birds flying N just W of the Lafleche landfill and a group of 6 along St. Rose Rd. just S of Hwy 3.
Good birding, Jon eontbird.ca _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
