Hi Ontbirders:
The precipitation held off for much of the day with the occasional drizzle
came and went quickly. Fox sparrows can still be seen on the Jack Pine
Trail along with the usual birds. There are up to 2 dozen Snow Buntings on
Petrie Island. This is the exact same spot as yesterday along the rocks
overlooking the water (some benches there). Most have come to know Snow
Buntings as extremely skittish birds but these allow a close approach
although the flock today seemed more flighty. Happy birding.
One of the many Snow Buntings.

causeway onto Petrie Island.
