Cindy and Cramer joined for much of the day as well. Weather: Southeasterly winds kept the what birds there were distant. Raptor Observations: Pretty slow; one very distant Golden and a smattering of Red-tails. Non-raptor Observations: With a thin layer of ice across much of the marsh, many of the ducks seem to have left. Coots are still numerous though, and Tundra Swans are still moving in numbers. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Sean Jenniskens ([email protected]) Holiday Beach Conservation Area information may be found at: http://hbmo.ca/ More site information at hawkcount.org: http://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=100 _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
