Subject: [Ontbirds]red-tailed hawk - U of T campus
From: Kathryn Mills <kathryn.mills(AT)sympatico.ca>
Date: 1 Jul 2008 6:51am
I think this fits the posting guidelines for a bird in an unusual
place. This morning at about 9:15, I saw a juvenile red-tailed hawk
eating things (worms it looked like) out of the grass on the traffic
island at the northeast corner of King's College Circle. I've never
seen a hawk do this. I and several other people watched it for about
five minutes, standing not much more than 10 feet away from it. Then
it got interested in the sparrows flying around and it hopped along
the ground a bit, and I had just decided that it was injured when it
flew away into the trees along with west side of King's College Circle.
King's College Circle is just to the north of Convocation Hall on the
downtown UofT campus.

Subject: [Ontbirds]Osprey at Heron Point Golf Links
From: "Clark, Ian (Wood Gundy IA)" <IClark(AT)cibc.ca>
Date: 1 Jul 2008 3:40pm
Played golf at Heron Point GL in Ancaster today (Alberton/Ancaster) and saw a
large Osprey circling 'Heron Lake' which cuts through the 9th and 18th holes.
He didn't catch anything while I was there.

Date: 1 Jul 2008 5:34pm
Hi Ontbirders
Today, July 1st, my son Ben and I birded a number of wetlands in the
Carp, Kanata and Dunrobin area. We had a great morning/early afternoon and
recorded 43 Virginia Rail, 12 Sora, 4 American Bittern, 5 Least Bittern, 6
Green Heron ,1 Sedge Wren and 16 Marsh Wren. The biggest surprise was the
number of Least Bitterns. We saw 2, near the bridge at the Mississippi River
and old Hwy. 17 plus 3, near Kilmaurs. Other birds of note included 2
Red-headed Woodpecker at Constance Bay, a regular site since 2002 and a pair
near Pakenham. We also heard a Yellow-throated Vireo near Galetta and
observed 3 Red-shouldered Hawks near Woodlawn. If you require additional
information, please email me privately.
Good birding & Happy Canada Day
Bruce and Ben

Subject: [Ontbirds]Upland Sandpiper, Blue-Winged Warbler - Coboconk
From: RON FLEMING <flemingron(AT)rogers.com>
Date: 1 Jul 2008 9:41pm
Had some interesting breeding birds along Northline Road between Coboconk and
Rosedale this weekend, including one Upland Sandpiper, one Blue-winged Warbler,
two Clay-colored Sparrows, and several Brown Thrashers, Grasshopper Sparrows and
Bobolinks. The sandpiper, warbler, and CC sparrows were on the west side of
the road just south of house #1190, in the general vicinity of the cart track
that runs west into the fields there. I wandered in about 15 metres to look at
the warbler and, to my pleasant surprise, flushed the sandpiper.
Cycling the Baseline Rd. just east of Coboconk on Saturday I had a
Broad-winged Hawk, two Pileated Woodpeckers, and a moose(!).
Coboconk is only about 15-20 minutes west of the Carden Alvar, where #48 meets
Hwy. 35.
Driving south out of Coboconk (toward Lindsay) you go up a hill (active Osprey
nest on the east side of #35). To reach Northline Rd., turn left (east) at the
top of the hill onto the 7th Concession of Somerville. It runs east to meet
Northline Rd. Travel south about 5 or 6 kms to reach #1190.
Coboconk is part of the Kawartha Lakes, an excellent area for weekend
naturalists to explore. It is about 90 minutes northeast of Toronto.
