Hi Ontbirders:
On Sunday, there were at least two Hoary Redpolls at the Hilda Road Feeders
(one male and one female). There are other possible candidates in the 80+
Common Redpoll flock. Numbers well exceed 120+ depending on the time of day
you visit. At least one Hoary was still there late today.
There are up to 3 dozen Red-winged Blackbirds at the same feeders.
An adult Bald Eagle flew low past the feeder location late today and appeared
headed toward the river (there was a nest last year close to the dike at
Shirley's Bay). Happy birding.
