Hamilton birders had a taste of warm weather, which brought the first
Killdeer, Red-winged Blackbirds, Common Grackles and American Robins of the
year for many people. This was quickly followed by another blast of winter,
leaving many to hope the birds can handle the cold and snow. Even with the
strange weather, large numbers of waterfowl are starting to migrate, being
found where open water appears. While spring is on its way, it looks like
another winter blast this weekend will keep us waiting even longer! Now onto
the report:
The beach canal has been one of the most active birding locations in
Hamilton this week. On the bay side, large numbers of gulls and mergansers
are evident on the edges of the ice. This is also one of the better places
to watch Bald Eagles, with the highest count this week being 13 birds.
Glaucous and Iceland Gulls have been picked out of regulars here as well.
On the lake side of the canal, two Red-throated Loons were found on the
weekend, with at least one bird staying around all week. Earlier in the
week, a Ruddy Duck was seen here. A Red-necked Grebe was present here
yesterday, along with flocks of flyby Tundra Swans. The Peregrine Falcons
here continue to put on a show, with the male displaying to the female
during the warm weather earlier in the week, as well as chasing away a
Red-tailed Hawk.
Green Rd. in Stoney Creek was productive yesterday, with four King Eiders
seen at various distances from shore. Two were first year males, with two
female plumaged birds. Other birds seen here included several Horned Grebes,
three Red-throated Loons, one Common Loon and all three Scoter species. A
flyby Killdeer over the lake yesterday showed a few of these birds are
staying around, even with the snow.
LaSalle Park has been a great place to get up-close views of American
Wigeon, Wood Duck, Green-winged Teal and American Coot as they feed amongst
the Mallards. More Tundra Swans here as well, when six stopped for a while
on the bay ice. A Merlin has spent some time around the car parking lot, and
a few Glaucous Gulls have also been seen on the ice off of here. A single
Common Raven was a highlight here on the 2nd. LaSalle has also been a
popular spot to watch the Bald Eagle show on the bay.
The Niagara Peninsula Hawkwatch at Beamer Conservation Area is underway,
despite the snow and cold. Hawk numbers have been fairly low to date, but
this is still a great place to watch diurnal migration. Species seen here
include Killdeer, Common Grackle, Red-winged Blackbird, Northern
Mockingbird, Common Redpoll, American Robin and Cedar Waxwings among others.
Hawk watchers often bird the Saltfleet area the same day as a trip to
Beamer. Birds in this area include the long staying Northern Hawk Owl on
10th rd. E, as well as a Northern Shrikes on 10th and 11th. Wild Turkeys
have been seen on several side roads, including 1st, 4th, 5th, 8th and 10th.
A Great Horned Owl nest was also found in this area, using an old crow nest.
Odds and Sods include a Northern Flicker on Patterson Rd. and Eastern
Bluebirds on Middletown Rd. both in Dundas. Bayfront Park turned up a few
good birds, with an Eastern Meadowlark found on the 3rd. A Pileated
Woodpecker in Kirkwall. A Swamp Sparrow on the trail to the Dundas Hydro
Pond. Pine Siskins visiting a feeder north of Brantford. Northern
Mockingbirds are being widely reported in the central and southern parts of
the HSA. Horned Larks are also abundant in the HSA, especially on back
roads, sometimes flocks of Snow Buntings are mixed with them out in the
country. RBG property on York Rd. in Dundas, as well as a backyard in
Oakville each had a Long-eared Owl make visits. Two Common Ravens were found
in west Flamborough. Valley Inn/Grindstone Creek area had a taste of spring
this week, with Common Grackles, Red-winged Blackbirds, Brown-headed
Cowbirds, Hooded Mergansers and Carolina Wren reported.
That's all for this weeks report! Please send your sightings to me –
peregrine13(AT)gmail.com – for another week as I cover the e-mail hotline
report!
Good Birding,
Brandon

Subject: [Ontbirds]Kingston area birds to March 7, 2008
From: "Peter and Jane Good" <goodcompany(AT)sympatico.ca>
Date: 7 Mar 2008 9:36am
Winter is still very much with us and more is on the way. Open water and
bare ground are very hard to find. Ducks are in only a few locations and
Horned Larks are having a tough time as even the shoulders of the roads as
not as exposed as they should be. There are a half dozen species of
waterfowl at the Dupont lagoon and the Wolfe Islander ferry dock. Gadwall,
Hooded Mergansers and Common Goldeneye are in the open water at Kingston
Mills.
Raptor sightings included 1 Snowy Owl along with 50 Rough-legged Hawks on
Wolfe Island last Friday. There was also a N. Harrier; these are usually a
common winter raptor in the Kingston area but that has not been the case
this year. There are still 2 Barred Owls on Howe Island. The city itself had
a good selection this week: An immature Bald Eagle along the waterfront, a
Merlin in City Park, and both a Red-tailed and a Cooper's Hawk on the
Queen's campus.
Unusual winter lingerers include a Red-bellied Woodpecker as well as a trio
of Rusty Blackbirds on Howe Island and another Red-breasted Nuthatch at the
Cataraqui Conservation Area to add to the one at Bedford Mills.
Raven activity seems to be on the increase; there were 5 at Lost Lake Bog on
Saturday and another at Camden East on Monday. There are still large flocks
of Common Redpolls, mixed with the odd Hoary, visiting local feeders. Four
Pine Grosbeaks have been frequenting a Camden East feeder all week.
Local signs of spring include a Golden-crowned Kinglet on Wolfe last Friday,
an Eastern Bluebird at Kingston Mills and a very early Ruby-crowned
Kinglet at the Lost Lake Bog on Saturday, an Am. Robin on Howe Island on
Monday and another 6 near Glenburnie on Tuesday, and a lone Red-winged
Blackbird at Camden East this morning. This made for an interesting
juxtaposition with the Pine Grosbeaks.
Cheers,
Peter Good

Subject: [Ontbirds]Ottawa-flock of Horned Larks
From: Brian Mortimer <brian_mortimer(AT)carleton.ca>
Date: 7 Mar 2008 11:05am
I went out this morning to see what I could find before the storm hits. At
10 am there was a flock of about 20 Horned Larks flitting along Twin Elm
Road south of Ottawa.
To reach Twin Elm road leave the 416 at the Bankfield/Brophy exit and head
west on Brophy, past Moodie Drive, to Twin Elm. The birds were between
Barnsdale and the railway but of course were very restless.

Subject: [Ontbirds] Yellow-headed Blackbird & Red-bellied Woodpecker,
Glengarry County
From: Martin Bowman <pict(AT)riverlink.ca>
Date: 7 Mar 2008 11:31am
Hi everyone
The Yellow-headed Blackbird & Red-bellied Woodpecker that Jacques
Bouvier reported last week west of Williamstown, Ontario are still
coming to feeders at 19275 County Road 19. Gillian Horgan and I saw
both birds this morning, March 7th, between 7:30 and 8:30. We also saw
our first Common Grackle and first two Red-winged Blackbirds of the
year. The owner of the house also reported a couple of Robins this
morning. We were told that both of the rarities have been coming to the
feeders since around Christmas.
Martin Bowman,
Williamstown, Ontario
Directions as per Jacques Bouvier's post:
DIRECTIONS, courtesy of Jacques Bouvier::
Take Hwy 401 west of Cornwall to exit 804. Proceed north past Summerstown
Station until you get to the stop sign just past the first Raisin River
bridge.
Turn right on Cty Rd 19 towards Williamstown. A couple of kms along, on
your right
is 19,275 County Road 19, on the
north (left) side of the road. It is a blue house. The owner allows birders
to drive up the lane and check out his feeder on the north side of the
house. If the weather is lousy the owner will allow birders to walk up into
the 2 car garage, up the little set of steps into the sun room and look in
comfort from there. Please do not block the driveway.

Subject: [Ontbirds]Beamer - Tundra Swans
From: "darling" <darling(AT)aucegypt.edu>
Date: 7 Mar 2008 11:39pm
The first two hours at the Hawk Watch were quiet with the usual suspects, a
flock of 24 Cedar Waxwings (3 visits), 6 Robins, a Northern Mockingbird, 6 dogs
and 4 owners.
At 9:50 a flock of 90 Tundra Swans flew right over the field from NE to SW, and
within 15 minutues were follwed by flocks of 85 and 23 for a total of 198.
Raptors: 5 Turkey Vultures and 4 Red-tailed Hawks. The snow started just after
noon, and activity ceased.

Subject: [Ontbirds]spring migrants at Point Pelee National Park
From: Rhonda.Donley(AT)pc.gc.ca
Date: 7 Mar 2008 5:00pm
Hi everyone:
As I drove through the park this morning, I saw a male Eastern
(Rufous-sided) Towhee drinking from one of the puddles along the road near
the Blue Heron/Marsh Boardwalk picnic area. There are hundreds of other
birds drinking from the puddles (robins, waxwings, cardinals, starlings,
sparrows), and they are very reluctant to move, so please slow down and
give them lots of room! You can get very close with your car if you go
slow.
On Monday (the 3rd), I watched an American Woodcock foraging about 10m
east of the road between the Visitor's Centre and the Tip.
While neither of these species is rare, it is really nice to see them come
back after a long winter.
Rhonda Donley
Directions from the Friends of Point Pelee:
Visitors to Point Pelee National Park should note that the bridge over the
Sturgeon Creek from the Bevel Line Road to Point Pelee Drive is closed for
repair until April 18, 2008. To access the Park go east on Seacliff Drive
East from Erie Street South in Leamington. Continue east on Seacliff Drive
past the Bevel Line turn-off to Concession Road 12. Turn Right on
Concession 12 and join up with Point Pelee Drive at Paula's Restaurant.

Subject: [Ontbirds]Harlequin Duck, Hooded Merganser at Ottawa
From: PETER HALL <halljp(AT)rogers.com>
Date: 7 Mar 2008 5:34pm
Hi Ontbirders:
This afternoon, I stopped on Bate Island in the Ottawa River to scan the
Deschenes Rapids. A total of six duck species were present, most on the Ontario
side looking south from Bate Island. There was one female Harlequin Duck, one
male Hooded Merganser, two female Bufflehead, as well as several Common
Mergansers, a few Mallards and many Common Goldeneyes. The snow was just
starting to fall at about 3:00 pm as I was leaving and is forecast to keep
falling until later on Saturday so visibility on the river could be very
limited.. We may be heading this weekend towards.more than 400 cm of snow so far
this winter in the Ottawa area.
Good birding
Peter Hall
Directions:
From Highway 417, take the Island Park Drive exit (123) north and follow
Island Park Drive until it crosses the Ottawa Parkway and heads across the
Ottawa River. Shortly after you enter onto the Champlain Bridge exit right onto
Bate Island where there is a small parking lot on the north side of the island.
Scan the Deschenes Rapids for ducks.

Mississauga
From: Wayne Renaud <wayne(AT)renaudwebber.com>
Date: 7 Mar 2008 5:47pm
I just got back from birding the main peninsula of the park and found large
flocks of diving ducks (mostly Greater Scaup and Long-tailed Ducks) which
included one adult Red-throated Loon about 100 off shore. I also found a
male Snowy Owl sitting on the docks of the Port Credit Yacht Club. Of
interest were 13 Red-necked Grebes, 30 White-winged Scoters, 35 Redheads and
adult Glaucous Gull.
Directions:
Lake Front Promenade runs south of Lakeshshore 3 long block east Cawthra.
The road loops around and parking lot at very end is within a short walk.

Subject: [Ontbirds]Crow gatherings in Ottawa
From: Eve Ticknor <sandbird(AT)magma.ca>
Date: 7 Mar 2008 10:49pm
For the pasts couple of weeks we have had huge roosts of Crows south
of Ottawa, mostly along the train tracks between Riverside and
McCarthy. A few days ago I noticed them all taking off from there
late afternoonish, heading in the direction of Billings Bridge, where
I saw them last year.
Tonight I drove past Billings Bridge Park around 10 pm and saw the
trees covered with Crows along with lots of snow falling rapidly.
Quite a sight.
Cheers, Eve
Billings Bridge is at Riverside and Bank. Riverside can be reached
off the 417.
