I happened to be doing a dragonfly survey adjacent to the Milton Velodrome today. On the southwest side of the building (next to the stormwater management pond) I observed a female Dickcissel with one young Dickcissel, as well as two Brown-headed Cowbird young in tow. So, I suppose it was a semi-successful nesting!
About 700 m southwest of the Velodrome, I also observed a family of Marsh Wrens in a large cattail marsh. That was a nice surprise. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=43.474046,-79.8735406&ll=43.474046,-79.8735406 <http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=43.474046,-79.8735406&ll=43.474046,-79.8735406> Good birding, Karl Konze Guelph, Ontario _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
