6 OFO members joined me for the annual late April trip to explore the Prince Edward County South Shore IBA ( http://ibacanada.org/site.jsp?siteID=ON003).
The weather forecast was very grim, calling for temps just above zero and rain for most of the morning. We arrived in snow changing to rain, but that miraculously cleared to just cold and cloudy conditions by the time we got going. We had a number of highlights including 3 Black Vultures just north of Point Petre (see eBird checklist for photos) and at least 32 Little Gulls at Kaiser Crossroad. In total we had 97 species for the day. For full lists from each location, see eBird checklists: Kaiser Crossroad: https://ebird.org/canada/view/checklist/S45058760 Babylon Road: https://ebird.org/canada/view/checklist/S45066440 Prince Edward Point: https://ebird.org/canada/view/checklist/S45066416 Point Petre: https://ebird.org/canada/view/checklist/S45069796 Black Vultures: https://ebird.org/canada/view/checklist/S45070366 -- *Mike Burrell* *Please support my Birdathon for bird conservation!* <https://www.canadahelps.org/me/6AfneQv> [email protected] Blog: http://mikeburrell.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
