3. Early migrants and birds seen for the first time in the season
4. Large concentrations of birds
5. Regional reports such as Presqu'ile, Pelee, Hamilton, Ottawa,

Good Morning Birders,
The Darlington Waterfront Trail was a busy spot again this morning! Some of
the sightings were several Ring-necked Ducks, Hooded Mergansers, Mallards,
Gadwalls and Buffleheads on the pond. Along the rest of the path I spotted
three male and 1 female Brown-headed Cowbirds, many Golden-crowned Kinglets,
2 Brown Creepers, Song Sparrows and a Hermit Thrush, not to mention the vast
numbers of male Red-winged Blackbirds (no females yet) and plenty of singing
Robins.
Enjoy your day!
~ Bettina

At Trib C in Markham this am - 3 : 2nd year Iceland gulls &
2 : 2nd winter Glaucous gulls found among the usual loafers.
Trib C is a new, 10 acre, permanent stormwater pond and
though still under development, promises to be a fine stopover
for migrating shorebirds. Several duck species and geese have
been frequenting it since the ice went out.
Drive 2km East on Hwy 7 from the Ninth Line to Reesor Road
then South a short distance - the pond lies on the west side and
can be viewed from the shoulder.
ps : Ninth Line is accessible from Hwy 407 E of Markham Rd
[Trib is Gov shortform for Tributary]
