Hi all:
This is my first posting to the site. I keep track and watch all of the
great birds you have here usually from home in Nova Scotia. I'm currently
visiting the Oakville/Bronte area and I must say that I am impressed with
all of the buffer zones and trails in the area. My hat off to the
government officials and Shell for a job well done in that area.
I don't know if this is overly rare for this time of year in the area, but
today I had a pair of scolding Carolina Wrens at the Shell Park trail.
These birds were on the section of the trail to the right of the Shell Park
Snack bar. I saw them this morning, but could not relocate them this
afternoon.
On the waterfront, today, there was one bufflehead, two yesterday, along
with 12 gadwalls, three mute swans, and two red-necked grebes. Again these
might be normal for the area, I'm not sure.
Thirty American Robins, I think is noteable in light of the weather. Other
birds seen are probably not worth mentioning and I suspect are normal for
this area during this time of year.
Sincerely,
