Subject: [Ontbirds]Snowy Owl - Wolfe Island
From: "Bob Beal" <rbeal001(AT)rochester.rr.com>
Date: 14 Mar 2008 1:02am
The Snowy Owl on Wolfe Island was still present yesterday March 12 at the
intersection of Reeds Bay Road and 4th Line Road. Rough-legged Hawks are
everywhere.....50 counted and plenty of island left to cover. Waterfowl on
the south side of Amherst are spectacular with hundreds(thousands?) of
Common Goldeneye and as many or more of Scaup species.....paricularly
dramatic against the ice formations there, and low hopscotch flights from
one open water area to the next near the shoreline. Snow Buntings and
Horned Larks easy to find on both islands. One lone Short-eared Owl on
Wolfe Island, and a great view of a Red Fox leaping from a standstill to
clear a 4 foot high wire fence and pounce accurately on prey on the other
side.

Subject: [Ontbirds]Algonquin Park birding update: 13 March 2008
From: Ron Tozer <rtozer(AT)vianet.ca>
Date: 14 Mar 2008 7:24am
Winter continued unabated this week. The best birding
spots are still the feeders at the Visitor Centre and the West
Gate. American Crows have become widespread, but other
signs of migration are scarce.
The Visitor Centre will be open daily from March 8 to 16,
and March 21 to 24 (10 am to 5 pm), and then on weekends
to April 20 (10 to 5).
FINCHES:
Pine Grosbeak: Up to 20 are at the Visitor Centre feeders
daily, with adult males often singing. Others were at the
West Gate feeder.
Common Redpoll: A few are coming to the Visitor Centre
feeders and up to 30 are at the West Gate feeder, irregularly.
Hoary Redpoll: An adult male was seen at the West Gate
feeder on March 9.
BOREAL RESIDENTS:
Spruce Grouse: No reports. Try Spruce Bog Boardwalk.
Black-backed Woodpecker: No new reports.
Gray Jay: Observed at Spruce Bog Boardwalk, the Visitor
Centre, and Opeongo Road. The first female to begin
incubating eggs was noted on March 10 by Dan Strickland,
in his decades-long study.
Boreal Chickadee: No reports this week. Try Opeongo
Road and Spruce Bog.
OTHER NOTEWORTHY SPECIES:
Red-tailed Hawk: Another early migrant was seen north
of Bat Lake Trail on March 8.
Northern Shrike: There was one around the feeder at
the East Gate on March 10, and another at the Visitor
Centre on March 13. An increase in sightings recently
suggests they may be moving back north.
Marten: One has been visiting the Visitor Centre feeders
irregularly, and one or two have been seen fairly frequently
around the garbage facility at Mew Lake Campground.
BIRDERS:
Please let us know the date, number and location of birds you
observe when you visit Algonquin Park. This information is
stored in the Algonquin Visitor Centre database, and will help
us to assist other birders here.
Arowhon Road is officially closed to public travel until further
notice, as log hauling is underway on it. Do not use this road.
Good birding.

Subject: [Ontbirds]Kingston area birds to March 14, 2008
From: "Peter and Jane Good" <goodcompany(AT)sympatico.ca>
Date: 14 Mar 2008 10:42am
Daylight saving time and a few migrants are almost the only signs of spring
what with three feet of snow still on the ground and snowbanks that go to
the moon. Cardinals, Mourning Doves, and House Finches are singing. Canada
Geese and Mallards are moving inland looking for open water. Flocks of
Robins have arrived; 48 in Churchill Park a week ago, 11 in Amherstview last
Saturday, and another group of 10 in the city yesterday. Small numbers of
Red-winged Blackbirds are visiting feeders in Camden East, Elginburg and in
the city. There were 3 Swamp Sparrows at Little Cat on Sunday and 2 Common
Grackles on College Street on Tuesday. The odd Goldfinch is starting to
moult into breeding plumage.
There are some leads off the south shore of Amherst Island that have filled
up with ducks; 100's of Common Goldeneye and Greater Scaup, 25 Bufflehead,
30 Long-tailed Ducks, and singletons of White-winged Scoter, Redhead, and
Ring-necked Duck. Wolfe Island still has at least 1 Snowy Owl, a Short-eared
Owl and lots of Rough-legged Hawks, Snow Buntings and Horned Larks.
Many of this week's raptors were seen within the city; a Barred Owl in
Reddendale, A Merlin on College Street, and both a Red-tailed and a Cooper's
Hawk on the Queen's campus. There was also a Cooper's at Camden East, a
Sharp-shinned at Bedford Mills, and a Bald Eagle and 6 Rough-legged Hawks on
Amherst.
Finch numbers are somewhat static; large numbers of Common Redpolls (189
last Monday at Bedford Mills) along with the odd Hoary are still visiting
feeders. The only local Evening Grosbeaks visit the Bedford mills feeder
irregularly; 2 on March 7th and 5 on the 11th. Pine Grosbeaks are still
coming to the Camden East feeder and a flock of 18 was reported from
Amherstview last Saturday.

Subject: [Ontbirds]pine grosbeak Westney Rd., Mar.13
From: "Doug Lockrey" <lockrey33(AT)rogers.com>
Date: 14 Mar 2008 11:57am
Around 6pm I witnessed a male Pine Grosbeak feeding with several Cardinals on
the ground below the feeder complex at the home of Betty Pegg's in
N.Pickering--conc.7 and Westney Rd. Betty had seen it earlier in the day, along
with 2 Red-bellied Woodpeckers that have been visiting the suet feeders for the
past 3 months. Both Nuthatches, Hairy & Downy Woodpeckers, Am.Goldfinches, House
Finches, Juncos, Chickadees and others are constantly busy at the various
feeders--a lull usually indicates the nearness of a Cooper's Hawk.
Many of you know the locale; if not, e-mail me for directions.
Horned Larks and Snow Buntings, along with up to 14 Wild Turkeys, can usually be
found along Hall's Rd. in southwest Whitby.

Subject: [Ontbirds] Northern Harrier, Northern Shrike (?), but not
Norther Hawk Owl, Stoney Creek. 3/10/08
From: "Alan Meijer" <alan.meijer(AT)gmail.com>
Date: 14 Mar 2008 11:02am
Hi. Grew up in Grimsby. Living in North Carolina. Was in town for a
snowstorm and a wedding. Hoping to find this N. Hawk Owl you have all
been seeing. On Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th, I was able to
take a little time to look for the owl but did NOT find it. (I spent
my time west of the 10th rd east, all the way to the woodlot on the
south side of the tracks). I'm scared to read the ontbirds list to
see if anyone else has.
On the way back to the car, I DID see a SHRIKE in the top of the
tallest tree, on the north side of the track, the first trees you come
to when leaving 10th rd and heading west. I have never seen a
Northern Shrike, but felt that this one was. Two photos of the bird
are on my blog: http://alansbirds.blogspot.com/. I'd appreciate any
comments. When the bird flew, it maintained an altitude of
approximately 35-45' and made a slightly undulating flight across the
fields.
Then on the way back to Grimsby, a male NORTHERN HARRIER flew over the
car. I'm not sure if any harriers had been noted at Beamer yet this
year, so I thought I'd mention it.

Subject: [Ontbirds]re winter sightings around Apsley
From: Kingdonbaker(AT)aol.com
Date: 14 Mar 2008 4:54pm
Birders,
It seems that I report not seeing birds on a regular basis and this
winter is the same. I spend three or four days a week at Chandos Lake and I
ski at the Kawartha Nordic trails and snowmobile the Paudash Trailblazer
Trails. On the Petroglyph Bird Census 5 Canada Jays were seen on the nordic
trails. In my time sking I didn't see one so they obviously were not on
territory. Up until recently there was an active territory at the Tanney Cabin
but not
this winter. There was another pair on 504 but not for the last two
winters. However there are a pair coming into a feeder on the Clydsdale Road
at Don
Campbell's place. It is just north of county road 620. These may be the
most southern birds in Peterborough County.
As other people have reported the woods have been quiet. Pine
Grosbeaks are still coming into feeders and so are Redpoles and Goldfinches but
that is it for finches. There was little for them to eat. I have been hearing
Golden Crowned Kinglets all winter. Eagles are in evidence above the Nordic
trails and at Burleigh Falls. The Ravens are starting to investigate nest
sites and Crows have come back but it is still winter in the area with waist
deep snow in the bush.

Subject: [Ontbirds] Hamilton Naturalists Club Birding Report -
Friday, March 14th, 2008
From: "Holden Family" <holden.ontbirds(AT)gmail.com>
Date: 14 Mar 2008 3:48pm
On Friday, March 14th, 2008 this is the HNC Birding Report:
CALIFORNIA GULL
Horned Grebe
Red-necked Grebe
Great Blue Heron
Snow Goose
Tundra Swan
Canvasback
Redhead
Ring-necked Duck
Bald Eagle
Northern Goshawk
Red-shouldered Hawk
Golden Eagle
American Kestrel
Wild Turkey
Killdeer
Thayer's Gull
Iceland Gull
Lesser Black-backed Gull
Glaucous Gull
Horned Lark
Winter Wren
Eastern Bluebird
Northern Mockingbird
Bohemian Waxwing
Cedar Waxwing
Pine Siskin
This is the second and final part of my act, covering the hotline for
Cheryl. Please send your sightings to her for next weeks report, as she
returns from her worldly adventures! I'd like to use this as a quick
opportunity to say a big Thank You to her, from all Hamilton birders and
beyond for the excellent reports she puts out each week! They are always
enjoyed and appreciated.
Birders in Hamilton were happy today, as large numbers of Blackbirds, Robins
and Killdeer are starting to push their way into our area. Large migrations
of gulls, crows, ducks, geese and swans are also underway. Horned Larks can
be heard almost anywhere in the HSA if one knows their high-pitched flight
calls, as well as large numbers on plowed country roads. Wild Turkeys
continue to be widely reported as well. Onto the report below!
Hamilton's third California Gull was found this week, about 2.5km west of
Peter's Corners on Hwy 5. The bird, an adult, was found two days ago, but
wasn't relocated today. A Lesser Black-backed Gull was also in the area.
Birders are asked to respect property and business owners in the area, as
well as being careful on this busy road if they're in the area.
The Bay continues to hold a number of Bald Eagles, as well as a large number
of ducks and gulls. Red-necked and Horned Grebes can be found in the open
water. Thayer's, Iceland and Glaucous Gulls also made an appearance out on
the Ice.
The Beamer Hawk Watch continues to see fairly low numbers of birds pass, but
more and more species are starting to move. Golden Eagle, Bald Eagle,
Red-shouldered Hawk and American Kestrel were among the highlights this
week, with Snow Goose, Northern Mockingbird, and Great Blue Heron being some
non-raptor highlights.
Birders in the Brantford area turned up a number of good birds, including
Wild Turkey, Northern Goshawk, Winter Wren, Bald Eagle, Eastern Bluebirds
and Pine Siskins among many others.
Not many Odds and Sods, but the RBG at Bulls Point produced a Red-bellied
Woodpecker and a Cooper's Hawk. More Bluebirds and Turkeys in Dundas, and a
number of birds near the Desjardins Canal including Great Blue Heron,
Canvasback, Redhead, Ring-necked Duck among the usual suspects. A number of
birds went either un-reported this week, or managed to elude observers
including the Northern Hawk Owl, the King Eiders, and many of our "winter
finches". A Few Bohemian Waxwings are hanging around, including a few at
Rock Chapel amongst Cedar Waxwings, but many will be on their way back
north.
That's it for this week!
Good Birding!
