A big thank-you to everyone that joined us on yesterday's field trip. It was a great time with some fantastic highlights.
Our group of 16 spent close to 10 hours viewing a total of 114 species. Highlights included: Opinicon Area - Great views of both Yellow-billed and Black-billed Cuckoo, Golden-winged Warbler, 4 singing Cerulean Warblers 2 that offered amazing views, an unexpected adult Golden Eagle,and an adult Northern Goshawk. Warbler counts were low but it was a great day for viewing raptors. Napanee Plain - Delivered great views of the Grasshopper sparrow and Loggerhead Shrike Amherst - Great day for shorebirds, well over 650 birds with Dunlin making up around 500 of those, Wilson's Phalarope, Ruddy Turnstone and the day ended on a high note with 15 Whimbrels and 64 White-winged Scoters scene on teh ferry ride back. Thank you again to everyone who came out. Looking forward to it again next year.
