I went down to check for the Brewer's Blackbirds that I reported on the Bruce-Saugeen Road yesterday and couldn't find them.
However, down by the tower overlooking the DU Pond in MacGregor Point Provincial Park, were about 6 Rusty Blackbirds of both sexes. I also heard the kish -lee call. I also saw my first pair of Eastern Phoebes of the year. They were across the road that borders the southern boundary of the park just by the no parking sign in front of a maintenance entry. It will be interesting to see if they are the pair that nests by the tower each year. The Huron Shoreline makes a natural flyway for migrating birds and the 6th Annual Huron Fringe Birding Festival takes advantage of this.
