Hi all
Apologies for the late posting!
6 hardy birders joined me for the Pelee fall trip last Saturday. Rain stopped
after about an hour or so and after that the weather was interesting as the
warm front from the south was replaced by rain and a cold front coming in from
the west. A few hawks flew after the rain stopped.
40 species were seen with the following highlights:
Thousands of Red breasted Mergansers off the tip, amazing.
Gray Catbird skulking in a Juniper tree
Purple Finch sitting on top of a the same Juniper tree
Good numbers of Common Loons migrating
More Robins than one would normally see in the spring.
Peregrine Falcon sitting in a tree.
Thanks to all who came along, it was a very enjoyable day.
Good birding,
Ellen Smout
