Subject: [Ontbirds]Brant Flight Amherst May 25
From: "Anne Anthony" <anthony(AT)cogeco.ca>
Date: 26 May 2008 6:35am
Further to Bruce's report, Maureen Smith and birded the KFN property on Amherst
in the morning and estimated 3000+ Brant between 8:30 and noon. We were talking
to a couple that had been on the earlier ferry. They had seen 3 large flocks
between 7:30 and 8:30. For they day, putting the estimates together, probably
well over 8000 passed the east end of Amherst and headed north.
Atleast 2 and maybe 3 Marbled Godwit were also present; flying between the
fields and the ponds. One was doing a display flight.
On the road leading to the Owl Woods, there were 2 Grasshopper Sparrow singings
from the tops of shrubs.

Directions: Amherst Island: Located 18 km. west of Kingston. Exit off Hwy.
401 at exit 593 (County Rd. 4, Camden East) and drive south to the very end
(Millhaven).
Turn right on Hwy. 33 and drive 100 metres until you see the sign for the
Amherst Island ferry. The ferry (20 minute trip) leaves the mainland on the
half hour and leaves the island on the hour. Cost is now $8.00 Canadian
round trip. There are no gas stations on the island. There are restrooms on
the ferry, and at the island ferry dock. The East End K.F.N. property
is at the easternmost part of the island on the east side of the Lower
Forty Foot Road.

Subject: [Ontbirds]Red-headed Woodpecker, Upland Sandpiper, Constance
Bay
From: PETER HALL <halljp(AT)rogers.com>
Date: 26 May 2008 9:07am
Hi Ontbirders:
On the weekend, I visited the Constance Bay area on the Ottawa River west of
Ottawa. At the corner of the turn into Constance Bay from the Dunrobin Road, a
single Upland Sandpiper was in the field on the right foraging in the grass. At
the same location, Bobolinks and Eastern Meadowlarks were present.
In Constance Bay itself at the burnt area a single male Red-headed Woodpecker
was drilling and calling from the tops of the many dead trees at the site. Also
at the site were a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, a Hairy Woodpecker and a Northern
Flicker.
Happy birding
Peter Hall
Directions from Neily World Birding: From Highway 417 (The Queensway) take
exit 138 (Eagleson/March Roads). If travelling west, the 0.6 km offramp sends
you right or north onto March Road. If driving east, a 0.4 km offramp brings you
to Eagleson Road, where you will turn left or north onto it and in 0.5 km join
the westbound offramp traffic on March Road (it changed names as you went under
the overpass). Now follow March Road northwest 8.0 km to Dunrobin Road. Turn
right or north onto Dunrobin and go northwest 15.5 km to Constance Bay Road.
Turn right or northeast on it to Allbirch Road and then turn left to Bishop
Davis Road. Turn left here and follow along Bayview parallel to Buckham's Bay to
Richie Road. Right again and then left on Whistler leads into the burnt area.

Subject: [Ontbirds]Brant Flight - Prince Edward County
From: "Michael Jaques" <michael.jaques(AT)sympatico.ca>
Date: 26 May 2008 8:58am
Further to the previous messages about Brant: Yesterday, May 25, we were
having lunch at noon along Babylon Rd west of Prince Edward Point when a
flock of 150+ flew over.
We saw one singing Clay-coloured Sparrow along Babylon Rd and heard another.
Directions: Prince Edward Point is the most south-east point of Prince
Edward County. Babylon Road is a loop off the south side of the road
leading out to the point.

Subject: [Ontbirds]Toronto Island - Saturday
From: "Laura Murray" <laura.murray(AT)osc.on.ca>
Date: 26 May 2008 12:04pm
A lovely trip to the Toronto Islands on Saturday, with good weather bringing out
some good species.
Right off the Hanlan's point 8:15 ferry, were Cedar Waxwing and SCARLET TANAGER,
as well as a few N. Orioles.
Warblers seen right here in the shrubs and trees were many Yellows, American
Redstart, many Black Throated Greens and Blackburnians, and Chestnut Sided.
Following the main path, 2 Blue Gray Gnatcatchers were seen and we saw several
Canvasbacks in the Lagoon, and a mystery warbler.
Nothing was in the shrubs by the lighthouse, so we carried on towards the
little church opposite the Farm. Adding to the warbler count were Magnolia,
Yellow rumps, Canadas, a Female Black throated Blue, Wilsons, Black and White
and a Common Yellowthroat, as well as more of the warbler spp. we'd already
seen.

Subject: [Ontbirds]Brighton Wetland and Lagoon
From: "Rod Lee" <simkev(AT)sympatico.ca>
Date: 26 May 2008 9:43am
Greetings birders: Sunday at the Constructed Wetland was fantastic. Doug
Mcrae was on hand to identify the shorebirds that some of us have a problem
with. There were huge numbers of Dunlins (70+), Semi-palmated Plovers
(12+), many, many Least Sandpipers, a few Lesser Yellowlegs, Spotted
Sandpipers, 2 Short-billed Dowitcher, BlueWinged Teal, GreenWinged Teal,t wo
pair of Gadwall, two pair of American Widgeon, Northern Shovellers, and
many, many Mallard (mostly Drakes and a couple of females). A sub-adult
Redtailed Hawk (Doug Mcrae) was being pursued by a number of black birds.
The Osprey continue to remain on the nest. We have no idea if they have
hatched a little one or not.The Trumpeter was letting everyone hear his
call. There is also as a Mute family of 8 cygnets. The Marsh Wren were
showing how they can do the splits while calling at the same time. The
Moorhen were very vocale. A Wilson's, Yellow Warbler and Common
Yellowthroat Warblers could be heard calling. Three Rough-Winged Swallow
were also observed along with many Tree and Barn Swallows and Purple
Martins.A apir of Northern Oriole flew over the Wetland and a Turkey
Vulture. There was also a Kingfisher and many Red Winged Blackbirds and
Common Grackles. Thanks Doug - it is always nice to have an expert on hand.
Kindest regards
Maureen and Rod
Directions: The Constructed Wetland is located at the SE corner of
Brighton. From Hwy 401, take the Brighton exit (Hwy. 30)and follow
it south into town. Go south through the two traffic lights, over
the railway tracks and follow the main road, now called Prince Edward

Subject: [Ontbirds]Update on Bobolinks in Oakville
From: Eric Harrison <eric_harrison(AT)ieee.org>
Date: 26 May 2008 6:38pm
Thanks to all who responded about my concerns over some local nesting
Bobolinks in a meadow subject to harvest. There were 15 emails and two
phone calls within three days. Many folks expressed similar concerns
over nesting pairs in their area. Here is a summary of helpful advice
that I received from MNR and others.
1) Best solution - Delay cutting the field until after August 1st.
when the young have fledged for sure. This is the mostly likely
solution in our case.
2) Mark the location of the nests with a 10 m square. This will
usually amount to a small loss and minor inconvenience for the farmer,
but it also makes it easier for predators to locate the nests and puts
the nestlings at greater risk. Also you have to locate the nests
without unduly upsetting the birds or destroying them yourself.
3) Pay the farmer NOT to cut the field. (ALUS)
Bobolinks are in decline due to warmer summers and cutting hay
earlier. Joe Nocera of MNR provided a paper detailing with the trade-
offs of delaying the cut. You can get a copy at
http://www.whc.org/documents/2-37A-3SNoceraetal-CompatibilityofDelayedCuttingRegimewithBirdBreedingandHayNutritionalQuali.pdf
.
John Haig provide a link to a possible solution in California
http://www.visaliatimesdelta.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080516/NEWS01/805160327/1002
Thanks to Dan Bone you can learn about ALUS (Alternate Land Use
Services) at http://www.deltawaterfowl.org/pr/news/071206_torontonow.phpon
This sounds like something we could encourage at the provincial and
regional government levels.
All great stuff!
As of last Friday, we counted three competing males east of our
driveway and at least four on the west side. It makes for a great
natural surround sound concert when most of them are in the air at the
same time and all singing their little hearts out.
Thanks again for the great advice!
Now the next question is what to do about the fact that the normal
nesting site for our local Red-necked Grebes is still under water
since Lake Ontario is currently about 30 cm higher than average. Will
the delayed nesting affect the probably success of their efforts this
year?
Eric Harrison

Subject: [Ontbirds]Western Kingbird - Grand Bend
From: Maris Apse <apsemaris(AT)hotmail.com>
Date: 26 May 2008 5:20pm
Hi all,
At ~5:30 pm Penny and I were driving back from an afternoon in Pinery PP
(Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Canada Warbler and Connecticut Warbler were best
sightings there). On Klondyke Road north of Greenway Rd and immediately south of
Cold Storage Rd, we have been seeing/hearing up to six Bobolinks and an
occasional Eastern Meadowlark for almost a week. As we stopped to enjoy this
to-day a Western Kingbird flew across the corner of this hayfield and landed on
the wire fence ~40 ft. from our van.
Before I could get at my video camera on this bird 2/3 pick-ups roared by and
spooked the bird. Penny saw it fly back into the field but we could not relocate
it (we tried 2 slow runs up and down Klondyke Rd ~ 15 mins).
I'll go early to-morrow to try see if it stayed the night - it does not
look like we are going to get any of the threatened thunderstorms but the wind
is predicted to turn NW again with a drop in temperature to-night.
Cheers! Maris
Directions - Greenway Road runs east off Hwy#21 ~ 5 Km south of Grand Bend
(just north of Pinery PP entry gate).
Klondyke Road runs east of Hwy#21 ~ 3 Km south of Grand Bend
and does a 90 degree turn to join Greenway Rd. Maris Apse 10094 Red Pine

Subject: [Ontbirds] Harlequin Duck(1), Eared Grebe(2) - Wawa and
White River Sewage Lagoons
From: "McIlwrick, Ken" <kmcilwri(AT)NRCan.gc.ca>
Date: 26 May 2008 9:38pm
Hi folks,
I stopped by the Wawa sewage lagoons/ponds today (3:30pm) to look for the
Harlequin Duck (female plumage) that I first reported on the 20th and
photographed on the 23rd. I again observed the bird and took a couple more
photos today - It is still in the southeast pond.
Also at Wawa...1 Eared Grebe (full breeding plumage) (also previously reported
on the 20th and photographed on the 23rd) - this time it was in the northwest
pond (the snow got too heavy for photos).
At the White River sewage lagoons (northeast lagoon) at 5:30pm - 1 Eared Grebe
in transition plumage (between winter and breeding). This bird was photographed
for documentation purposes.
Wawa sewage lagoons are located east of Hwy 17 and west of Misson Rd. along Golf
Course Road. Wawa is located along Hwy 17 about 230 km north of Sault Ste.
Marie, Ontario.
White River Sewage Lagoons are located along a gravel utility trail west of Hwy
17 and 1.5 km south of the Intersection of Hwy 17 and Hwy 631. White River is
located 315 km north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
The snow was heavy at times today and flycatchers, swallows and warblers were
having a tough time of it. I saw a number of birds just sitting on the sides of
roads, in the grass or low in shrubs shivering or in a state of low
responsiveness. I was able to warm up 2 Olive-sided Flycatcher (found sitting on
the edge of a gravel trail) and 1 Canada Warbler (eyes closed...perched low in
an alder - hardly responsive) enough to bring them back to state of
responsiveness, that allowed them to fly and catch food on their own. I also
watched an Eastern Kingbird flying from cattail to cattail (plants from last
season) in a roadside (Hwy 17) ditch across from the White River Husky. It was
very focussed on feeding on aquatic bugs right at the surface of the water and
paid virtually no attention to me (I was only feet away).
