The flock that has been building along Hwy 138 just south of Hwy 417 was well over 10,000 at mid-morning. I did not have time to do a good count but for a while the birds were descending at the rate of 500 - 1,000/minute and that was with at least 5,000 on the ground. If someone has the time to do a decent count, we'll probably have about 15,000 birds. There are a few blues in with them.
Brian Morin Cornwall Take Hwy 417 east to the Hwy 138 exit (about 5 km east of Casselman). Head south about 1 km. The birds have been seen on the west side of the road on the Manderley Sod Farm and can be viewed from the highway or by proceeding west along Lafleche Rd through the heart of the property. The numbers pick up after mid-morning. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
