Ontbird Subscribers A malicious message from an outside source pretending to represent Ontbirds was distributed to the list yesterday. It is a hoax. Please disregard it.
I am very concerned about preventing future messages or worse from entering the system and am looking for answers. Technical support for Ontbirds is also looking into the matter. Please do not send further comments on this to the list. Contact me instead at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] NOT [email protected] Rest assured that the list will be notified if there is any change in Ontbirds's status. In the meantime continue reporting birds.

CERULEAN WARBLER Common Loon Red-necked Grebe Blue-winged Teal Northern Goshawk (SH) Dunlin Semipalmated Sandpiper White-rumped Sandpiper Bonapartes Gull Acadian Flycatcher (SH) Alder Flycatcher Eastern Kingbird Sedge Wren Eastern Bluebird American Redstart (SH) Golden-winged Warbler Blue-winged Warbler Black-throated Green Warbler (SH) Mourning Warbler Hooded Warbler Chestnut-sided Warbler Scarlet Tanager (SH) Rose-breasted Grosbeak (SH) Bobolink Eastern Meadowlark (SH) denotes Spooky Hollow the HNC sanctuary A quiet hot, sticky week on the homefront. Best bird of the week (in my opinion) was a male CERULEAN WARBLER found on Monday singing at the treetops in Shell Park (on Lakeshore between Burloak and Bronte Road). A fairly uncommon bird for the Hamilton area and a very late migrant. Down at this end of town at Bronte Marsh a search for the Yellow-crowned Night Heron did not result in success however birds seen down there on the lookout were Blue-winged Teal, Black-crowned Night Heron, Eastern Kingbird and of course the resident Red-necked Grebes. The Grebes appeared to be rebuilding their nest on the tire after losing the first set of eggs. A bus trip by the club to Spooky Hollow, one of our sanctuaries outside the Hamilton Area (SH) resulted in a number of good finds of bird life including Black-throated Green Warbler, Hooded Warbler, American Redstart, Scarlet Tanager, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Acadian Flycatcher and Northern Goshawk. For further information on location of this sanctuary, please email me privately. Action in Ancaster this week included Sedge Wren being heard on Powerline Road just west of Paddy Green Road. Chestnut-sided Warblers seem to like this area as well. On the path off of Powerline road at the back of the Dundas Valley Conservation area, Hoolded Warbler, Mourning Warbler, Rose-breasted Grosbeak and another set of Sedge Wrens were heard singing. Martins Road area in Ancaster produced Golden-winged Warbler, Blue-winged Warbler (not a confirmed pure bred since I didn't see it and both nest in this area) and Alder Flycatcher. Hopkins Tract off of York Road was significant for Bobolink, Eastern Meadowlark and Eastern Bluebirds. Shorebirds are scarce now however last Friday, Semipalmated Sandpiper and Dunlin were at Tollgate Ponds off of Eastport Drive and a White-rumped Sandpiper was there last Sunday. A Bonaparte's Gull was seen off of Van Wagner's Beach today. A Common Loon was seen flying over the lake today also. That's all for this week. Sounds like a great weekend. Hope you enjoy your week. Good birding, Cheryl Edgecombe Hamilton Naturalists Club 905-381-0329
