Prov.Park X-BeenThere: [email protected] X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 08 Apr 2007 01:24:03 -0000 Hey all. Bit of a late posting. Yesterday (Friday) afternoon I had the most impressive flock of longspurs I have yet to see in my life. Most male birds had almost acquired their full breeding plumage by this point while the few Snow Buntings on show were a bit behind in molt. I have yet to ever see a flock of winter buntings, etc. where the Lapland Longspurs outnumber any other species by a good 10-1 !!! Purple Finch #'s in Mac Gregor Park are good (ie. 25+ with very little effort). Also, the # of birds on the roadside while driving over the last 2 days has just blown me away. Horned Larks and more importantly, Dark-sided Junkos have easily #'d in the thousands. Everything is out looking for food stuff since the snow blanketed most of the area north west of Guelph. Very impressive. Directions: Field on east side of #33 (county rd.?) just 3 or 4 concessions south of the southern most right turn into Mac Gregor Prov. Park (from #33) as you are headed south.
