Subject: [Ontbirds]Toronto Islands Yesterday - Omission - Bohemian
Waxwings
From: "Norman Murr" <normurr(AT)sympatico.ca>
Date: 25 Apr 2008 12:29am
Good morning
In my report for the Toronto Islands yesterday I for some reason left out one of
the birds mentioned in the Subject Line.
WE found 9 Bohemian Waxwings with 9 Cedar Waxwings - Sorry about that and I did
not expect the sarcastic email I received to remind me of this minor over sight.

Subject: [Ontbirds]Kingston area birds to April 25, 2008
From: "Peter and Jane Good" <goodcompany(AT)sympatico.ca>
Date: 25 Apr 2008 7:06am
Another week of atypical April weather and the birds have not disappointed.
The focus has almost completely shifted from waterfowl and overwintering
raptors to new arrivals. The last Common Redpoll reported was at Camden East
on Monday and there were only 2 Rough-legged Hawks on Wolfe Island that same
day.
The shorebird migration has moved beyond snipe, woodcock and Killdeer. There
were 14 Greater Yellowlegs on Wolfe and an Upland Sandpiper on the Florida
Road on the 21st. This same location also had the area's third Sandhill
Crane on the 23rd.
A pair of Red-shouldered Hawk surveys north of the city tallied 26 on the
Canoe Lake Road last Saturday and 19 on the Opinicon Road on Sunday. Two
Broad-winged Hawks were seen this week; the first at Amherstview on the 19th
and the second on the Opinicon Road on the 20th. Barred Owls are calling
"all over the countryside" and a Screech Owl was in the Milton subdivision
east of the city.
There were 2 Rough-winged Swallows at RMC and a Purple Martin on Wolfe
Island on Monday. Eastern Bluebirds were reported from the Gananoque area as
well as the Florida Road. Cartwright's Point had a Carolina Wren and 2 House
Wrens on Wednesday. Purple Finches are now showing up in good numbers in
many locations. Pine Warblers are outnumbering Yellow-rumped so far with 4
on the Canoe Lake Road on Saturday, 13 on the Opinicon Road on Sunday and 2
more in Cartwright's Point on Wednesday.
Cheers,

Subject: [Ontbirds]cranes,snow geese, ducks and sparrows, eastern
Ontario
From: PETER HALL <halljp(AT)rogers.com>
Date: 25 Apr 2008 9:19am
Hi Ontbirders:
Yesterday, Jeff Harrison and I did a tour of eastern Ontario. We started at
Milton Road east of the Mer Bleue at Bear Brook and did a zig zag pattern
eastwards ending up at the Alfred Sewage Lagoons. Along the way, we stopped at
three sewage lagoons (Embrun, Ste Isidore and Alfred) and we attempted to look
for any remaining Snow Geese at the recently drained fllooded areas, including
Bear Brook and the South Nation River.
The highlights were the following:
- 2 Sandhill Cranes west off Milton Road, but far back from the road close to
the trees ringing the Mer Bleue;
- 15 species of duck with a remaing few Bufflehead, Goldeneye. Highlight was
about 20 Redhead and about 20 Ruddy Duck at the Alfred Lagoon;
- Only one flock of about 3,000 Snow Geese was seen near Riceville in a large
open, muddy field looking south from Riverbank Road along the south side of the
South Nation River. The flock flew up once when something disturbed it, but the
geese settled again in the same area;
- A good mix of sparrows in a spruce plantation off of Woorley Road. While
this spot is one of the better in eastern Ontario for Clay-coloured Sparrows
(still too early for their return), there were Savannahs, one Vesper and several
Field Sparows.
Good birding
Peter Hall
Directions: As this was a complicated route, I would refer you to Larry
Neily's Birding World website for complete directions to any of these spots.

small numbers around the Hamilton Study Area.
This week Northern Waterthrush started to sing in the Beverly Swamp. House
Wrens, Yellow Warblers and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers showed up at the Dundas
Marsh and another Louisiana Waterthrush could be heard belting out its song
in Spencer Gorge. Numbers and variety of migrants have been low but this
week after all this weather moves out things should pick up significantly.
The Niagara Peninsula Hawkwatch at Beamer saw its larger push of
Broad-winged Hawks last weekend. For those who were at the tower, large
numbers of Broad-wings along with Bald Eagle, Golden Eagle, Osprey, Northern
Harrier, Sharp-shinned and Coopers Hawks moved through. Other birds seen up
there were Sandhill Crane, Brown Thrasher, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher and five

The Lakeshore properties, Paletta/Shoreacres and Shell Park have been
extremely quiet this week. Brown Thrasher, Eastern Towhee, and Ruby-crowned
Kinglets were reported in the week. Tree, Barn, Bank, Rough-winged Swallows
and Purple Martins can be seen flying over the edges of the lake feasting on
the many midges present here. The Bank Swallow colony at Burloak Park is
now very alive! Pine Warblers were heard in Bronte Woods and at LaSalle
Park. At Confederation Park, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher and Purple Finch were
seen last Saturday. Edgelake Park in Stoney Creek produced a Palm Warbler
and Blue-headed Vireo on Thursday.
Out on the lake another story has unfolded. A significant Loon Migration
occurred this week with many Common Loons (over 180) and a few Red-throated
Loons were seen at various access points on the lake from Bronte Bluffs in
Oakville to Green Road in Stoney Creek. Other birds found out on the lake
and bay this week include Horned Grebes (dwindling in numbers), Red-necked
Grebes, Bonaparte's Gulls in significant numbers around Bronte Harbour.
Caspian Terns and now Common Terns can be seen cruising up and down the
shorelines. Two Glaucous Gulls were seen flying over the bay last Saturday.
Lots to report in the odds and sods this week. Two Green Herons were seen
flying over 14 Mile Creek in Oakville. Pine Siskins were heard and seen on
McNiven Road near Killbride. A Great Egret was hiding in the reeds behind
VanWagners ponds last Sunday. Sora could be heard calling at the back of
Mountsberg Conservation Area. Virginia Rail are now present at the marsh on
Safari Road just east of Kirkwall Road. A Tufted Titmouse was seen in the
Hendrie Valley. Kettling Broad-winged Hawks, Vesper, Field, Savannah and
Chipping Sparrow and Eastern Bluebirds were reported from Courtcliffe Park
in Carlisle.
Finally, this week good news from the Sheraton Hotel in Hamilton. Our
resident Peregrine Falcons Madame X and Surge are now incubating 4 eggs.
The birds can be viewed on the web cam at
http://falcons.hamiltonnature.org/. The Falcon watch is looking for
volunteers for when the new arrivals come. Information is on the website.
Looking forward to a busy week, keep sending in the sightings. Good
birding!

Subject: [Ontbirds] Toronto Islnads - Long-eared Owl, House Wren and
Mickingbird
From: "Norman Murr" <normurr(AT)sympatico.ca>
Date: 25 Apr 2008 2:34pm
Good day
Today was a short kind of speedy walk on The Islands with Peter McParland and
we did beat the rain that really only was a few drops as it turned out so we
could have taken our time after all.
As we walked along we found House Wren, Long-eared Owl, N. Mockingbird,
Red-necked Grebe, 39 Yellow-rumped Warblers, Cedar Waxwings, Cliff Swallows,
Purple Martins, Hermit Thrushes, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Song, Savannah, Swamp,
White-throated ( 150 ) and Chipping Sparrows, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Caspian
and Common Terns, Common Loons, and the usual birds.
The changes from yesterday that I noticed was an increase in the number of
Yellow-rumped Warblers and White-throated Sparrows and a decrease in the number
of Downy Woodpeckers, Northern Flickers, Ruby-crowned Kinglets and Song
Sparrows.
Better days are just around the corner.
Directions:-
TORONTO ISLANDS ( Wards Island to Hanlans Point - without side trips is 5 km ) -
Now on the Spring 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 south
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 ( all fares are return ) ) 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 ( before 7:30 ) 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).
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.
- The drinking fountains have been turned

Subject: [Ontbirds] Louisiana Waterthrush north of Georgetown on
Friday April 25
From: "Gerald Doekes" <GDoekes(AT)ucc.on.ca>
Date: 25 Apr 2008 3:19pm
Hello Ontbirders, at 2:00pm today April 25, a Louisiana Waterthrush was singing
along a stream in Halton Hills. It remained in one area while it was singing,
but I did not get a chance to see it before I left. This stream is suitable
nesting habitat, so it will probably stay around, as this species have done in
the past.
Directions; From 27th sideroad of Halton Hills and Eighth line intersection,
turn right (east) drive 0.7 km. Park on the road just before the bridge. Approx.
75 metres downstream from the bridge, the bird was singing in that area. This
area is adjacent to the Bruce Trail. Good birding.

From: Jean Iron <jeaniron(AT)sympatico.ca>
Date: 25 Apr 2008 7:27pm
Today Eleanor Beagan and I located two pairs of Loggerhead Shrikes on
the Carden Alvar near Kirkfield. One pair was at the regular spot
along Wylie Road near bluebird box 10. Scan tops of hawthorns on both
sides of the road. Other grassland and scrubland birds were numerous
including several displaying Upland Sandpipers, Eastern Bluebirds,
singing Brown Thrashers, Eastern Meadowlarks and singing Eastern
Towhees. At the Sedge Wren Marsh we saw two American Bitterns and
winnowing Wilson's Snipe. Just north of the marsh we had about 25
Rusty Blackbirds in a flooded area. We also saw and heard a
Red-shouldered Hawk at a nest. All birding was done from roadsides.
