Happy Thanksgiving Ontbirders
This morning, at the Burnside Quarry Ponds, we had a juvenile Long-
billed Dowitcher.
Other shorebirds included 3 Greater Yellowlegs, 5 Dunlin and a
Sanderling.
Just before leaving, an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull came in with
some Herring Gulls.
And, an immature Bald Eagle (probable 2nd year - speckled belly,
white crown) perched in the distance.
Important Note: Contrary to previous information, although today is a
holiday, and there is no quarry-work-activity in progress, security
advises that people must still stay outside of the fence line.
Note also that hunters are active in the adjacent farm field and
cedar woodlot.
