Twenty OFO members joined me for the now annual outing to the Prince Edward County South Shore Important Bird and Biodiversity Area ( http://www.ibacanada.ca/site.jsp?siteID=ON003). To say the weather cooperated is certainly an understatement!
Highlights of the 87 species observed were great looks at a Little Gull at Kaiser Crossroad flooded fields, a very early Chimney Swift at Prince Edward Point and a flock of at least 300 Bohemian Waxwings also at Prince Edward Point. Seeing and hearing many typical mid-April migrants was also a highlight for many of us. Here are links to the eBird checklists for the day: Kaiser Crossroad: http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist?subID=S29017409 Long Point Road: http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist?subID=S29017568 Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory: http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist?subID=S29017982 Point Petre: http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist?subID=S29018156 -- *Mike Burrell* *Please support my birdathon for bird conservation!* <http://birdscanada.kintera.org/birdathon/mikeburrell> [email protected] Bird-finding and trip planning: http://burrellbirding.ca/ Blog: http://mikeburrell.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
