Hey Ontbirders, At 10:45 a.m. today 2 Cave Swallows were found flying west over the Bird Studies Canada HQ property. The birds did not linger for very long. Strong west winds along the lake also produced a first basic Thayer's Gull and Little Gull amongst hundreds of Bonaparte's Gulls from the overlook on the BSC property. An hour watching the lake at The Coves this afternoon did not turn up any more Cave Swallows but did produce a flock of 10 exhausted Dunlin.
Also of note is that the Western Tanager has not been seen today at the Old Cut field station. Good Birding. Jody Allair Bird Studies Canada's Headquarters is located outside of Port Rowan a 1/2 km east on Front Road (Regional Road 42) from the intersection of Hwy 59. The Coves are located 8.2 km west of Hwy 59 along Regional Road 42. -- Jody Allair [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
