addresses for buntings and larks should read 14684 and 14685 Hwy 50 which
are across the street from each other - sorry for the confusion.

Terrie Smith and I followed the trail left by others and found 12 Bohemian
Waxwings in Palgrave at 14 Birch St. feeding on juniper berries in the
front yard. We then headed south on Hwy 50 and at #14684 and #14865 Hwy 50
found a farmer spreading fresh manure on both sides of the road .. 300+ Snow
Buntings and 4 Horned Larks enjoyed the feast. I suspect that in a couple of
days, one might look for Longspurs here as well, although we couldn't find
any today.
At Port Credit, the Harlequins (male + 2 females) were well offshore to the
west of the gazebo (foot of Hurontario St.) near the south edge of the rocky
peninsula which is visible from the gazebo. One Yellow-rumped Warbler
frolicked on the shore east of the gazebo and the Pied-billed Grebe was
easily found with the Trumpeter Swans at the mouth of the Credit River.
If you need directions, pls email me privately
