I, along with three or four other birders, re-found the Yellow-throated Warbler this morning at south Shell Park at or around 9:30 am. It was first seen in the conifers at the west side of the small parkette and then flew to the single pine tree in the middle of the park. It was last seen at the west end of the parkette again around 10. It was favouring the conifers as might be expected and always near the tops of these trees. (As also might be expected)
Also seen on the lake by all, was a not too distant Pomarine Jaeger flying westerly no more than a meter above the water. Terry Osborne Directions re earlier post: QEW to Burloak Drive which turns into Great Lakes Blvd. , follow south down to the lake, the park is just east of the intersection of Great Lakes Blvd and Lakeshore on the lake side.

It was a small immature Hermit Thrush. If you wish to see it e-mail Ron Stephenson, the photographer--- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hall's Rd.'s first N.Shrike was seen in the late afternoon of Oct.31 Many have asked me about R-n Pheasants lately. Since the "arrival" of "our" Wild Turkeys the pheasants have been rarely seen or heard-- on Oct.31 a pheasant called from the foot of the roadway that runs toward the lakefront on the east side of Cranberry marsh. Wed. Nov.1 at the CMRW platform-- as many as 12 visitors and raptor observers had to be satisfied with 2 N.Harriers and 2 Red-taileds--that's it. Heard flying over --SNOW BUNTING. Nearby-- fox sparrow, 3 Rusty Blackbirds. Hundreds of Red-winged Blackbirds were noted. The raptor count total is 7022; we continue to Nov.30 On the lakefront--greater scaup, redhead, bufflehead, goldeneye Doug Lockrey, coordinator CMRW, Whitby, ON From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 1 17:10:40 2006 Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To: [email protected] Received: from hotmail.com (bay107-f6.bay107.hotmail.com [64.4.51.16]) by king.hwcn.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6503A634C8 for <[email protected]>; Wed, 1 Nov 2006 17:10:40 -0500 (EST) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Wed, 1 Nov 2006 14:10:40 -0800 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from 64.4.51.220 by by107fd.bay107.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Wed, 01 Nov 2006 22:10:37 GMT X-Originating-IP: [70.49.172.64] X-Originating-Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: "Andrew Keaveney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Date: Wed, 01 Nov 2006 17:10:37 -0500 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed X-OriginalArrivalTime: 01 Nov 2006 22:10:40.0180 (UTC) FILETIME=[90F1E740:01C6FE02] Subject: [Ontbirds]Cattle Egret - Martintown (n. of Cornwall) - YES!! X-BeenThere: [email protected] X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 01 Nov 2006 22:10:41 -0000 Hey all. Some rather good luck with twitches of recent. I set my sight on the Cattle Egret after dipping on the bugger in Castleman just a few weeks ago. The bird was there from 7am - 8am this morning in the field directly beside house #18360. I only waited 20 min. before the bird appeared and strutted its stuff in the open right next to a very busy road. Gorgeous bird! Cheers, Twitcher. Directions (from earlier post): >From Highway 138 turn east on Cty Rd 18 and just before Martintown look for house # 18360. The small pasture with the Cattle Egret is on the south side of the road. You can access HWY 138 by taking exit 51 from the 417 or by taking exit 789 from HWY 401.
