This report comes on behalf of Keith (Tiny) Lee. Well, what an exciting weekend at the Wetland. We had 40 visitors and 43 species. We have identified 68 species to date at the Wetland. I am sure that many more will be identified as those who bird by ear enter the Wetland.
American Crow, American Robin, American Widgeon, Barn Swallow, Blue Jay, Blue-winged Teal, Canada Geese (3 families), Chimney Swifts, Chipping Sparrow, Common Grackle, Common Moorhen, Common Yellow-Throated Warbler, Dunlin, Eastern Kingbird, Gadwall, Gray Catbird, Great-crested Flycatcher, one Greater Yellowlegs (Keith - Tiny Lee - confirmed) Green Heron, Green-winged Teal, House Wren, Killdeer, Least Sandpiper, Lesser Yellowlegs, Mallard families, Marsh Wren, Mute swam + 7 cygnet, Northern Cardinal, Northern Flicker, Northern Oriole, Ospry (nesting), Purple Martin, Red-eyed Vireo, Redbreasted Grosbeak, Redwinged Blackbird, Short-billed Dowitcher, Solitary Sandpiper (confirmed - Maureen Bell) Song Sparrow, Sora (heard but not seen), Tree Swallow, Virginia Rail (many observed), Turkey Vulture, Yellow Warbler. A few sightings should be created to other individuals but since I do not have everyones name I decided it best not to credit anyone, except Tiny, with sightings. I thank Tiny for giving so generously of his time on this first long weekend of the approaching Summer. Maureen Directions: Exit 509 south off Highway 401 (Highway 30). Highway 30 becomes Prince Edward Street when you enter Brighton. You will pass through two sets of traffic lights and continue straight out of Brighton. Prince Edward becomes County Road 64. The Wetland is located on the south side of County Road 64. _________________________________________________________________ Internet explorer 8 lets you browse the web faster. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9655582_______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
