Subject: [Ontbirds] Toronto Islands - April 15th, 16th and 17th -
Lots of stuff
From: "Norman Murr" <normurr(AT)sympatico.ca>
Date: 18 Apr 2008 4:21am
Good Morning
The last 3 days migration has been trickling through the Islands as is expected
at this time of year but it did hold a few surprises and besides the great
weather I had great company with Ian Cannell, Margaret Liubavicius, Alfred Adamo
and Gunnar Bessel joining the walk each day.
The next 6 weeks down there will get even better with plenty of migrants to
come but with maybe an interruption for some if the TTC goes on strike. I'm
doomed if they do.
The following are some of the highlights of the birds seen over the 3 days.

Directions - Spring Schedule starts today.
TORONTO ISLANDS (Wards Island to Hanlans Point - without side trips is 5 km) -
Now on the Fall Schedule.
To get to the Toronto Islands from Queen and Yonge Streets on the TTC. If your
on the subway southbound stay on it and get off at Union Station, walk outh
about 1 km to the ferry docks at the foot of Bay Street at Queens Quay and you
are there. If in an auto on the Gardener Expressway or on Lakeshore Blvd, then
exit at Bay Street and drive south to Queens Quay, there are lots of parking
lots nearby (fee).
There is a fee for using the island ferries ($6.50 adult / $4.00 for seniors and
students) and to find out the sailing times you can phone (416) 392-8193. There
are washrooms on the islands as well as the city side at the ferry docks and
you can pick up a schedule at the docks or check on line.
The 1st boat to Wards Island (my preferred starting point) is 6:35 am and the
2nd is 7:00 am Monday to Friday.
The 1st is at 6:35 am and the 2nd boat is at 7:15 am on Saturday, Sunday and
Holidays.
The 1st boat to Hanlans Point is 8:00 am and the 2nd boat is at 8:30 am Monday
to Friday.
The 1st is at 8:15 am and the 2nd boat is at 9:15 am on Saturday, Sunday and
Holidays.
If arriving in early am you must obtain your ticket from a machine just inside
the gate so be sure to have $1.00 and $2.00 and/or 25 cent coins before you
arrive at the docks as there is no place to get change and the machine does not
make change. (There is a change machine (up to a $10 bill) there if you want to
chance it). Note the fare increase of 50 cents.
There are coffee shops across from the ferry docks in the building on the
northwest corner and they are open early. food and beverages on The Islands when
open are very expensive i.e. soft drinks $3.00. If you are birding from Wards
the soft drink machine beside the fire station sells juice, iced tea, etc. for
$1.00.and $1.25.
For a detailed ferry schedule check the following web site.
http://www.toronto.ca/parks/island/springschedule.htm
PS - There is a map of the Islands at each of the Island side ferry docks and
the City side.

Subject: [Ontbirds]Kingston area birds to April 18, 2008
From: "Peter and Jane Good" <goodcompany(AT)sympatico.ca>
Date: 18 Apr 2008 9:08am
What a glorious week weatherwise and not so bad in the migration department
either. Common Loons and Osprey have moved onto the back lakes in spite of
the fact that they are not yet completely free of ice. Double-crested
Cormorants are back in numbers and the Bonaparte's Gull migration is in full
swing; over a thousand flew along the south shore of Amherst Island at noon
last Monday. There was a Mute Swan in the Cataraqui River at the start of
the week but most of the ducks there seem to have moved on.
Many birds have come in in large numbers this week: Brown Creepers,
Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, N. Flicker, both kinglets, Tree Swallows, as well
as Swamp, Savannah, and Fox Sparrows. In smaller numbers we have tallied
Hermit Thrushes, Barn Swallows, Winter Wrens, and White-throated, Chipping,
Field and Vesper Sparrows. The first local E. Towhee was on Amherst last
Saturday as was a Rough-winged Swallow. There was a Brown Thrasher in
Amherstview yesterday.
There were Barred, Saw-whet and Long-eared Owls in the Owl Woods this week
and both Barred and Great Horned are calling north of the city. There were 2
Bald Eagles at Chaffey's Lock on Wednesday and there are numerous
Red-shouldered Hawks back on territory. Both islands continue to have
abundant raptors and a few observers have noted that it is a particularly
good year for Am. Kestrels. At least 2 Loggerhead Shrikes are back in the
area north of Napanee.
The warbler migration has started, albeit slowly, 2 Yellow-rumped Warblers,
the first at Elginburg on the 12th and a Pine Warbler at the Queen's
Biological Station yesterday. Coming in with the warblers are those finches
that kept going last fall; there was a Pine Siskin at Bedford Mills on
Monday, 2 Purple Finches off Montreal Street on Monday and another at
Bedford Mills on Thursday. Lingering winter birds include Tree Sparrows, a
few Common Redpolls, 2 Evening Grosbeaks at Bedford Mills on Tuesday and 18
Bohemian Waxwings on the Opinicon Road on Wednesday.
Cheers,

Another positive week here in the HSA with warm temperatures and birds
trickling in through the week on southwest winds. Although numbers have
been low, we are going for quality not quantity here.
The Niagara Peninsula Hawkwatch has been excellent again this week for
migrating raptors and other birds. This weeks raptors include the first big
push of Broad-winged Hawks along with Osprey, Northern Harrier,
Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper's Hawk
and two more Golden Eagle. I'm sure today and tomorrow will be excellent
here. Among other birds seen here this week Common Loons in numbers,
Sandhill Crane, Upland Sandpiper, Bonaparte's Gull, a compliment of 4
species of Swallow, Brown Thrasher, Eastern Towhee and Fox Sparrow.
Cruising the roads around the Hawkwatch in the area known as Saltfleet,
numerous flooded fields which are now drying up produced ducks such as
American Wigeon, Northern Pintail, Green-winged Teal, Blue-winged Teal and
shorebirds including both species of Yellowlegs and Dunlin. One of the best
spot is the flooded areas which can be seen from Ridge Road looking south
however a scope is necessary. The Blue-winged Teal were on Powerline Road
close to Tapleytown where also a field of gulls produced 15 Bonaparte's'.
Sparrows are also turning up in the area with Savannah Sparrow, Vesper
Sparrow (seen along the Dofasco Trail west of 10th Road East) and Field
Sparrows up singing. On 10th Road East, Upland Sandpipers should be there
any day now if not already.
Another hotspot this week is Rattray Marsh located at the end of Bexhill
Drive in Mississauga. Among migrants there this week, Common Loon,
Red-necked Grebe, Pied-billed Grebe, Horned Grebe, Common Moorhen, Purple
Martin, Yellow-rumped Warbler, an early Black-throated Green Warbler, Fox,
Swamp and White-throated Sparrow and Purple Finch on their way back north.
Numbers of Yellow-rumped Warblers should show at any time.
Down at Fifty Point, things were quiet yesterday with only Ruby-crowned
Kinglet and White-throated Sparrow seen. A female King Eider was seen off 50
Point on April 15th. A Snow Bunting was seen last Sunday. At the Grimsby
Sewage Lagoons last Friday an early Sora was flushed.
Behind VanWagners Ponds last weekend, Tree and Rough-winged Swallow, Hermit
Thrush and Chipping Sparrow were seen.
The lakeshore properties were quiet this week. Shell Park sightings include
a bizarre spectacle of a female Wild Turkey running across the soccer field.
Migrants and residents this week included Northern Flicker, Gray Catbird,
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Winter and Carolina Wren, Eastern Towhee and Fox
Sparrow.
In the odds and sods a Louisiana Waterthrush was found last Tuesday on Tuck
Creek located between Walkers and Guelph Line. The bird was seen near
Lakeshore Road but was a one day wonder. They should be in traditional
spots in the HSA now. A Virginia Rail was heard in the Dundas Marsh this
morning. From Brantford sightings of Sandhill Crane, a Merlin in a display
flight, territorial Pine Warblers, Chipping Sparrow, late Common Redpolls
and Pine Siskins. Wild Turkey were seen at Valley Road close to York Road.
A late flock of Bohemian Waxwings were seen at 6th Line and Leighland in
Oakville last Friday, likely the last of the bunch.
This week promises to be a big one so keep me posted of your sightings.
Good Birding,
Cheryl Edgecombe

Dear Birders,
Here's a brief Minesing Wetlands trip report with some awesome sightings.
Or was that an awesome trip with some brief sightings? No, I was right the
first time.
The Minesing Wetlands is an internationally significant wetland and
designated under the RAMSAR convention. It covers approximately 6000
hectares. These sightings in a small portion of that area give an
indication of the diversity and capacity of this habitat.
The Black-headed Gull photos have been verified by Bob Bowles. Apparently
this may be a first record for Simcoe County. Here's the brief report on
all of my sightings yesterday.
2008-04-12 Minesing WETland tour - Friends of Minesing Wetlands (FOMW) &
Barrie Canoe & Kayak Club (BCKC)
Overcast, showers, low 1 high 6 degrees light E, SE 4 to 8 km/h winds Very
high water levels!
FOMW - Lynn Brennan, Harold & Robert Parker, Harold McMaster & son
BCKC - Ed Irwin & Tom
Highlights - Harold Parker's wonderful documentary commentary of the natural
and cultural history of the Minesing Wetlands
- Paddling with Vanessa
- Short-eared Owl @ Willow Creek sand traps
- Wilson's Snipe - in flight and calling
- 2 or 3 pairs of Sandhill Cranes
Car tour after trip - South Glengarry Landing Road - Marl Creek -
Black-headed Gulls - nearly to Ronald Road - Canvasbacks
For the most part I'll just note the first sighting of a species and not
repeat it unless it is significant.
Route - started at Willow Creek canoe access on George Johnston Road to Big
Marsh to Nottawasaga River halfway to the Mad River back to the Nottawasaga
to Willow Creek to Muskrat Creek and Muskrat Marsh to Swaley Drain

Nottawasaga River - Sandhill Cranes pair, Bald Eagles adult pair perched in
tree above large "osprey" nest northwest of the eagle nest - eagle nest
looked smaller than previous observations and I suspect it might be a new
nest and the "original" tree may have fallen down? I have never approached
the nest from this direction before, so I may be mistaken, but it did not
look nearly as large to me.
Swaley Drain - Turkey Vultures 3 roosting in trees on south side, one with
wings open, Gull sp. 2 with partial hood on back of head (Franklin's?,
Sabine's, Boneparte's?, Black-headed?, etc.? didn't get a good enough look!)

Desroches @ 424-1479x241 or email tdesroches(AT)nvca.on.ca for more
information. Pre-registration is required.
Here's a link to my photos. I haven't edited them yet so you'll have to wade
a bit, but that's what birders do. I didn't notice I bumped the photo size
button on my camera so they aren't very high resolution.

From: "roy sorgenfrei" <rsorgenfrei(AT)hotmail.com>
Date: 18 Apr 2008 5:12pm
Birded Mud Lake Conservation Area today from 10:30 to 1:00 . My
highlight of the day was a black-throated green warbler a short way along
the trail going to the right as you come up from the parking lot. It
was flitting about in the understory & bushes bordering the lake along
with a yellow-rumped warbler & ruby crown kinglets. The lake was
teeming with a variety of water fowl today namely: northern shovelers,
northern pintails, am wigeon, ring-necked duck, blue & green winged teal,
wood duck, scaup, gadwell to name a few. I also saw two rusty
blackbirds with a group of red wings on the left trail around the lake
coming from the parking lot.
Saw 43 species in all.
Roy Sorgenfrei (Niagara Falls)
Directions: From the QEW take hwy 406 to the end in Welland ; turn left
at the lights onto E. Main St. & go through the tunnel under the canal
till you come to the next set of stop lights. Turn right here onto hwy
140 . Take this south till you get to hwy 3. Turn right onto hwy 3 into
Port Colbourne & cross the canal. Turn right unto Elm St. Follow Elm
St. north for about 2km, You will see the sign & parking lot for Mud

Mary and I heard a very clear Virginia Rail at 4:45 p.m. today.
We were at the marsh on Stockdale Rd which is south east of Fowlers Corners
off highway #7. This is north west of Peterborough. It was on the west
