Hi The St. Catharines CBC was held today and was a great success. Not all areas have reported but the number of species tallied so far is 85 plus 1 more for count week. This is the highest number of species seen in the past 18 years.
Four species were tallied for the first time - Harris Sparrow, Turkey Vulture, Trumpeter Swan and Cackling Goose. Two species were seen for only the second time - Ruddy Duck and Pileated Woodpecker. Congratulations to everyone who participated. A final report will be sent once all the leaders for the areas have reported. Happy birding Marcie Jacklin Fort Erie _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
