Common were Golden-crowned Kinglet, Brown Creeper, and Eastern Phoebe. Three of the 5 Horned Grebe seen yesterday at the Tip were still seen today near the winter parking area at the tram turn-around with 2 of the birds still in winter plumage and 1 in almost full breeding plumage. Still no sign that we will actually have a "Tip" in time for spring migration. There isn't enough room at the moment for probably more than half a dozen Ring-billed Gull to roost on what is left of the tip. There is no sandy beach on the west side of the tip all the way back to the winter parking area, and no beach on the east side for several hundred metres north from the tip. The number of large trees in the water along the east side makes it essentially inaccessible.

The first Robin has arrived, the male & female NORTHERN CARDINALs who seem to have stuck around for the whole winter remain in unruffled tranquility. At one of our feeding stations the male stepped forward aggressively this morning toward his mate doing his courtship feeding. He brought his companion tidbits of food with their bills touching briefly as she accepted each offered morsel. WOOD, HOODED MERGANSER, RING NECKED, AMERICAN WIGEON, BUFFLEHEAD, COMMON GOLDENEYE, GREATER & LESSER SCAUP DUCKS with about 3 or 4 of each species. Directions: take Mill St. exit off # 401 by Newcastle and take Liberty St. exit off # 401 by Bowmanville and drive south on both roads. For Bowmanville turn west on to the West Beach Rd. till the end loop called Cedar Crest Beach Rd. & Watson Cr. Look north with a telescope into the St. Mary Cement pond.
