I had the privilege of leading the now annual late April OFO trip to the Prince Edward County South Shore IBA yesterday. Migrant passerines were very slow but we still found about 90 species.
The highlights of the day were two Little Gulls at the Kaiser Crossroad flooded field and many typical mid-April migrants including all three scoters, five species of swallows, nine species of sparrows and of course being about seven hours early for the Say's Phoebe at the bird observatory! Here are the full lists from locations visited: Kaiser Crossroad: http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S36199727 offshore south end of Kaiser Crossroad: http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S36193737 Babylon Road: http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S36199646 Prince Edward Point: http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S36199525 Point Petre: http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S36202388 Good birding, *Mike Burrell* *Please support my Birdathon for bird conservation!* <http://birdscanada.kintera.org/birdathon/mikeburrell> [email protected] Blog: http://mikeburrell.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
