Good morning,
Regarding the earlier posting from me of a MOURNING WARBLER in Wellington. Before posting the sighting, I had sent the single photo to two expert birders who both agreed with me that this was a first winter female mourning warbler. However, this was based on just the single photo. I have since been able to acquire several more photos of the same bird from the owner of the property, and now they feel that it could be an Orange-crowned Warbler, as it makes more sense. I have not seen the bird myself, but would welcome any additional comments. In any event, everyone is welcome to view the bird themselves at per the directions below. The owner says that the feeder is in the backyard and you are welcome come inside and wait for the bird’s appearance. Might be a good plan, given the weather this morning at 4:00 a.m. ! Thank you for your input. DIRECTIONS: Narrow Street is about mid way along the main street of Wellington. Take Highway 33 from Carrying Place to Wellington, or Highway 62 from Belleville to Bloomfield, then right on Highway 33 at the Mac’s Milk store and follow to Wellington. - Terry Sprague _________________________ NatureStuff Tours & Things www.naturestuff.net 23 Sprague Rd., R.R. # 1 Demorestville, ON K0K 1W0 private tours, bus tours public speaking, guided hikes Main Duck Island boat tours 613-476-5072 _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
