Good Morning Fellow Birders, The Red Bellied Woodpecker f. has made her appearance at the suit again in my back yard after a long period of absence.
The Downy Woodpeckers m. & f. are enjoying the peanut feeder on a regular basis as well as the Red Breasted & White Breasted Nuthatches who enjoy the Sunflower seeds. Many Sparrows, i.e. White Crowned, White Throated, Fox, Song, are all over the yard. Many of these were present in the Cranberry Marsh along with some Pine Siskins flying around and perched in the branches. About a dozen Buffleheads, Red Breasted Mergansers and American Black Ducks were swimming and diving in Lake Ontario off the Bluffs of the Lakeshore Rd. east of Bond Head. Had the privilege of enjoying an Immature Bald Eagle in the Cranberry Marsh around 3:30 and a Northern Harrier. Earlier I did see a number of Red Tailed Hawks flying over. Directions: Exit # 440 on Mill St. S. by Newcastle down to the lake and follow Lakeshore Rd. east and stand on the Bluffs.
