Spotted a male Ruby Throated Hummingbird at my sugar feeder today in
Wallaceburg, Ontario. Also of note, a Black and White Warbler was in my front
yard today gleaning my Maple tree for bugs.

Mark Jennings correctly informed me that the harlequin duck is a female,
not a male as originally posted.
Good birding

Subject: [Ontbirds]Blue-winged warbler, harlequin duck at Bronte Bluffs
Park, Oakville
At around 9:30 AM this morning, I found a blue-winged warbler and a male
harlequin duck (non-breeding plumage) at Bronte Bluffs Park in Oakville.
A Google map and photo of the birds can be seen at:

http://www.giraud.com/maps/20070504/map.htm

Either click on the orange targets or use the drop-down in the left hand
corner to view the pictures. The blue-winged warbler was at the very top
of a tree so the pictures are not great. The harlequin duck was located
with a small flock of bufflehead and a couple of greater scaup along the
bluffs about 20m off shore. Other birds in the park included blue-gray
knatcatchers, yellow-rumped and black and white warbler.
=20
Bronte Bluffs Park is located off W. River St. Take Bronte Rd until you
get to Lakeshore Road West. Turn right and W River St will be the 1st
right. Drive until you see a small parking lot on top of the bluff area.

Good Birding

PS. The locations plotted are where I took the pictures from not where
the birds are located. I was almost directly underneath the blue-winged
warbler. The harlequin ducks were photographed from land and were about
20m out in the lake.
