Two BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS were located today by Linda Nuttall and
myself just before 2 pm. on the north side of Grindstone Creek in
Burlington (just east of the Hamilton border) east of the main bridge
across the creek. This bridge can be reached by parking on the north
side of Plains Road (across the street from the main RBG building) and
going through the Rose Hill gate and then down into the valley. Exit the
403 at Hwy 6 north and then make a right (east) to get to Plains Road
and turn left (east) at the light.
Other birds in the vicinity included RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER, PILEATED
WOODPECKER, at least a dozen WOOD DUCK, SHARP-SHINNED HAWK, CAROLINA
WREN, BELTED KINGFISHER, NORTHERN FLICKER, several TREE SWALLOWS and one
singing (but not seen) YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER.

The big story around Owen Sound this week was the report of three =
Whooping Cranes that apparently had gotten lost on their travels south =
and had been spotted earlier that week by a couple in Port Elgin.
Much speculation where they could be with a number of birders out at =
Isaac Lake (north of Wiarton) on Sunday, only to find the resident =
Sandhill Cranes. Apparently there is an Alvar area near Port Elgin where =
the lost birds might be hanging out as they try to figure a way to cross =
Lake Huron.
