Seventeen OFO members had an enjoyable outing to Amherst Island yesterday (we didn't venture to Wolfe Island) and logged a very reasonable 67 species. Highlights of the trip included Horned Grebe, Red-necked Grebe, Hudsonian Godwit, Black-bellied Plover, Dunlin, Black Scoter, Bufflehead, Sandhill Crane, Hermit Thrush, Red-bellied Woodpecker, American Pipit, the first Rough-legged hawk of the season and at least one abieticola (Northern) Red-tailed Hawk.
