Bobolink have returned. Last year they were in the scrubby grass to the north of McPhail Rd. close to 638 and around the barn in the tall grasses at the corner of McPhail and Chapman. So far I've only seen one this year, near the barn.
The sandhill cranes haven't been seen for over a week. But I think there is a northern mocking bird hanging around. I haven't managed a clear ident yet but I am really watching and listening now. Also something has killed two blue jays. All that remains is downey feathers. ....an interesting birding season! >From Sault Ste Marie go east on highway 17 to Bruce Mines. Travel north on 638 over the railroad tracks and turn right on McPhail. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
