The weekend closure of Victoria Street across the Lynde Shores Marsh forced a change of starting point to Hall’s Road. From there, this year’s trip covered Cranberry Marsh, Darlington Provincial Park, Corbett Creek Marsh and a storm water pond east of Lynde Creek. The group of 25 members tallied 63 species on a sunny but cool day. Despite driving a circuitous route to places most of the group had never been, nobody got lost.
Some highlights include: Herons and Bitterns: Green Heron, Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Least Bittern Shorebirds: Least Sandpiper, Lesser Yellowlegs, Spotted Sandpiper, Killdeer, Piping Plover Flycatchers: Eastern Kingbird, Eastern Phoebe, Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Willow Flycatcher, Traill’s Flycatcher Warblers/Vireos: Yellow Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, American Redstart, Pine Warbler, Warbling Vireo, Red-eyed Vireo Other: Indigo Bunting, Marsh Wren, Common Loon, Pied-billed Grebe, Baltimore Oriole, Wild Turkey, Osprey, Ruby-throated Hummingbird Rayfield Pye and John Stirrat Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
