A short afternoon drive produced 4 NORTHERN PINTAILS in a small patch of open water by the west bridge of Wilton Creek along Big Creek Road. South of Napanee on the east side of Cty. Rd. 8 in the open field opposite Galt St. was a SNOWY OWL and just west of Bath along the Lake Ontario shoreline were 2 BALD EAGLES sitting side by side. In Violet was 1 COMMON REDPOLL, 1 PINE SISKIN and one block away from my house in Amherstview on Coronation Blvd. by Bath Road was a flock of 25 WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS which allowed me to walk very near for interesting close observation of them feeding at eye level.
Good Birding Bruce Ripley The west bridge on Wilton Creek is at the junction of Big Creek Road and Perry Street south of Morven which is east of Napanee on Hwy 2. Violet is east of Morven north of Hwy 2. There are a few good feeders in the village. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
