The Western Kingbird was still busy flycatching at Port Burwell up until 4:30 this afternoon. It's exact location is extremely difficult to explain precisely and while all previous directions are vague, I don't know how one could improve upon them?
I also had at least one juvenile Vesper Sparrow and probably 2 amongst a group of Juncos and Song Sparrows at the previously described Lark Sparrow location. That's not to say there wasn't one there, just that I didn't refind it. To say that it's a long, difficult walk to the bird, would be a huge understatement. Terry Location: Northwest corner of the Port Burwell Provincial Park trails (Ravine Creek Trail). It was in the east-west Poplar Tree fencerow which is actually on private farm land just outside the park boundary. This requires some walking. It was catching numerous flying insects and returning frequently to the same perch. Directions to Port Burwell: At the southern terminus of Hwy #19 (Plank Road) on Lake Erie south of Tillsonburg and Ingersoll. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
