Photographed a Yellow Billed Cuckoo at Lemoine Point Conservation Area in Kingston, Ontario, yesterday.
This is the first time I've seen one at the Point. I've posted some pictures on my blog at www.nightofthekingfisher.blogspot.com Information on Lemoine Point can be found here: http://www.cataraquiregion.on.ca/lands/lemoine.htm Gregg Miller, Kingston, Ontario From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Oct 7 17:19:31 2005 Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To: [email protected] Received: from hotmail.com (bay106-f8.bay106.hotmail.com [65.54.161.18]) by king.hwcn.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 89EC2642D1 for <[email protected]>; Fri, 7 Oct 2005 17:19:31 -0400 (EDT) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Fri, 7 Oct 2005 14:22:19 -0700 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from 65.54.161.200 by by106fd.bay106.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Fri, 07 Oct 2005 21:22:18 GMT X-Originating-IP: [216.46.145.10] X-Originating-Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: "Maris Apse" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 07 Oct 2005 17:22:18 -0400 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed X-OriginalArrivalTime: 07 Oct 2005 21:22:19.0074 (UTC) FILETIME=[32A5C220:01C5CB85] cc: [email protected] Subject: [Ontbirds]Laughing Gull - Point Edward X-BeenThere: [email protected] X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 07 Oct 2005 21:19:32 -0000 Hi all! Just after 10:30 this morning a chap from MI (Dave Burns?) and I both got our scopes on a rather distant dark gull. I lost it as it landed in the waves, but he said it looked like a juvenile LG. Luckily for us the bird flew in closer to shore, landing twice for very good views, before slowly drifting with the wind and disappearing downriver. You never know what to expect - prior to this we had seen several C. Loon, small flocks of Scaup, 2 Horned Grebe, a Hooded Merganser, a Surf Scoter and 2 Peregrines(likely the locals from Bluewater Bridge) and lots of Canada Geese and were, of course, primarily 'jaegering'. Cheers! Maris Directions : Point Edward is to the north of Sarnia - from the south, turn left on Michigan Ave. and right on any of the next few streets to Victoria St.(1 short block) then right again on Fort St. driving to the end and left into the parking lot at the waterworks.
