There was a Common Loon on the Kingston waterfront last Saturday and a KFN field trip to Amherst Island had 5 more on Sunday. Three Double-crested Cormorants and a Pied-billed Grebe were also seen. Seven Snow Geese flew over the Lyndhurst area on April 4th and the second Black-crowned Night Heron of the season was in Collin's Bay on Monday. More Osprey were reported; two at RMC and one on the KFN property on Amherst, both of which were successful nest sites last year. There were still 4 Rough-legged Hawks and 3 Snowy Owls on Amherst last Sunday. The first pair of Loggerhead Shrikes were back in the Newburgh area last Saturday. Northern Flickers, Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, Brown Creepers, and Golden-crowned Kinglets were seen in many areas and the first Ruby-crowned was at Bell Island on Wednesday. In the same area on the same day were a Caspian Tern and a Barn Swallow. A Carolina Wren put on a great show last Sunday at the Ducks Unlimited project at the southwest end of Amherst. Sparrows were the highlight of this week's migration; a dozen or so Fox Sparrows moved along the north side of the Owl Woods last Sunday, and on Wednesday there was a Chipping Sparrow in Amherstview, 3 Field at Dupont, 2 Vesper at Bath, and another at Lyndhurst as well as 6 Savannahs. Woodcock, Wilson's Snipe and Killdeer have been back for several days now but it seems the real shorebird migration is about to begin; 4 Greater Yellowlegs were in a flooded area off Hwy 15 north of the 401 yesterday.
