This morning about 10 45 a.m Terry Osborne, Audrey Oswald and Jim Coey had a Turkey Vulture during the S. Peel Field Naturalists Christmas Bird Count. We were in a small park called Post park accessed from Chartwell and Mc Donald in Oakville. It is unlikely to be hanging around. It was seen heading south towards the lake
Other birds of note were an adult Bald eagle and 3 Carolina wrens. To reach Chartwell from Qew, take Trafalgar south to Cornwall, East on Cornwall to Chart and South on Chartwell. The Bald Eagle was on the lake shore at the bottom of Chartwell.

At 8.30 am on Old Cut Blvd. at the foot of Long Point Causeway, a probable Eastern Phoebe was flying in and out of a conifer on the far side of the canal. It had disappeared when I finally reached the bank. At the Old Cut banding station, the feeders produced many Cowbirds, Grackles, a RW Blackbird, a Siskin, Fox Sparrow, and a Hermit Thrush eating Highbush cranberries. Some open water off Rogers Rd. (off Old Cut) hosted about 200 Tundra Swans, a Ring-necked & a Ruddy duck. Thanks to Kevin McLaughlin & Bill Lamond (conducting Hamilton Xmas Count), a Catbird was easily found eating bittersweet berries halfway between the first bridge going south along the causeway and the Big Creek parking area. It was on the bay side near some junipers and a euonymus tree between 2 houses. At the bridge in Port Royal (RR # 42 ) were 2 male Wood Ducks and a female Hooded Merganser. Further west were 2 male Harriers, a Savannah Sparrow at roadside, and 4 Sandhill Cranes overhead. North of Normandale, about 200 m. south of Spooky Hollow, an Eastern Meadowlark fed at the edge of the road. Along Spooky Hollow Rd. near the bridge were 13 male and one female Eastern Bluebirds. At the intersection of Spooky Hollow Rd. & Charlottevile 2 Rd., a large flock of Snow Buntings and Horned Larks contained at least 8 Lapland Longspurs. 3 Short-eared Owls roosted near the Raptor Reserve on Conc. 6 just north of Fisherville. At the bridge at the Taquanyah creek off Decewsville Rd. north of Highway #3, 10 Rusty Blackbirds flew in at 4.45 pm.
