For those interested: thanks to Jacques Giraud's reports, I have been able to
see and hear the Tufted Titmouse on 3 different occasions. The latest, and
best, was TODAY (Saturday April 24th).
Directions: Corner of Gordon Dr. and Breezy Pines ( close to a Canada Post Mail
box).
Bird has been in all four 'wooded' lots and house backyards. To reach the
location take the QEW to Hi-way#10. go north to Queensway. West to Gordon Dr.
(past the Hospital). South to Breezy Pines or where bicycle can go further, but
no cars! .....LISTEN.... the bird is very loud "Peter...Peter...Peter", not
easy to see sometimes.
Other birds of note:
1) Long-billed Dowitcher ( thanks to Barry C. and Kevin M. for the
alert) on the 10th Road East and Railroad ( Dofasco trail), in the 'wet area'
described in earlier messages {"Up in Salfleet, in a field north and east of
the tracks viewed from the Dofasco Trail", South east of Stoney Creek up on the
Ridge.}
Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs and Dunlin were also present. I am not sure who
found this LB Dowitcher, perhaps they will be putting out a better report on
it. Hopefully, I am not intruding. If so, my apologies.
2) Iceland Gull ( at Appleby Line south of Lakeshore, on the lake) +
Bonaparte's Gulls, many Common and Caspian Terns,
3) Three Pine Warblers, two Fox Sparrows and Nesting Cooper's Hawks (
undescribed location ) on The Riverwood Conservancy property in Mississauga.
