On Saturday, April 9 at approx. 2:00, an immature golden eagle was
flying high, north to south along the Georgian Bay shoreline of the
Bruce Peninsula, at the Stormhaven camping area south of Cyprus Lake P.
Park.
On Sunday, April 10, at least one male Brewer's blackbird was singing
from a fence post along Hwy. 6 north of Wiarton, also on the Bruce
Peninsula.
Directions: Travel north on Hwy 6 to the Bruce Peninsula. Brewer's
blackbirds: Approx. 23 km north of Wiarton, along Hwy 6, there is a
long stretch of road with open pastures on both sides and numerous
fenceposts (just south of the windmill). Check these fenceposts for the
resident Brewer's blackbirds. Golden Eagle: Continuing north on Hwy 6,
access the Bruce trail via Cyprus Lake P. Park. Stormhaven is on the
Bruce Trail south of the park (a demanding half hour hike along the
shoreline). Raptors were moving all along the Georgian Bay shoreline on
saturday.
