Hi folks: Spent a few hours yesterday afternoon at the Perth Wildlife Reserve just south of the town of Perth west of Ottawa. There was a very good mix of resident and migrant birds, including a number of FOY for me in eastern Ontario. Highlights were American Bittern (showing nicely on the edge of a small pond), a pair of Sharp-shinned Hawks on a nest, three Osprey, four Northern Harriers, Barn and Tree Swallows, Eastern Bluebird, Winter Wren, Brown Thrasher and Rusty Blackbird. Directions: From Perth take County Road 1 (Rideau Ferry Road) south and turn left on Wildlife Road (sign for reserve on corner). Good birding Peter Hall _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
