Fish Crows can still be found in north St Catharines. Today I found a flock of 14 Fish Crows near Malcomson Eco-Park. I followed the flock to Sunset Beach - most of the birds are here now but some have flown north towards the Port Weller west pier. This appears to be a pure flock of Fish Crows as most birds are calling frequently and all birds are flying like and acting like Fish Crows. There are a few American Crows in the area as well but they are remaining separate from the Fish Crow flock.
These crows do move around a fair bit. Yesterday morning Todd Hagedorn and I saw the flock of 14 crows as we were walking out on the Port Weller east pier; however at the time we could only confirm 3 Fish Crows (the rest Crow sp.) as only a few birds were vocalizing. I haven't seen Fish Crows at Port Dalhousie in my last few visits but that is another spot worth checking. To reach Sunset Beach - exit the QEW at Ontario street, drive north. After about 6 km turn left on Arthur St. At the end of Arthur, turn right on Beachaven and then your first left on Bogart St. Good birding, Josh Vandermeulen joshvandermeulen.blogspot.com Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
