Good morning Steve, We've been here since before 7am. No Kiskadee. Take care,Ina ------ Original message------From: Steve Charbonneau via ONTBIRDS Date: Sat, Sep 15, 2018 7:16 PMTo: ontbirds;Cc: Subject:[Ontbirds] Rondeau Great kiskadee NO Saturday after early morning Hi Everyone, The Rondeau Great Kiskadee emerged from its roost tree on schedule this morning at 7:15 (three minutes before yesterday's time). The past 3 or 4 nights, it has roosted in a large walnut tree just north of the dilapidated dock at the entrance of the Marsh Trail......directly behind the building. It called three times this morning and proceeded to feed along the shoreline just north of the Marsh Trail entrance much to the delight of about 15 early birders. It used its usual low perches and went about its daily routine of hunting for dragonflies and frogs. Just like yesterday, it disappeared into the roots and bushes around 8:00. UNLIKE yesterday, however, it wasn't seen again, unless someone can correct me on this. And I would love to be corrected. Many of us checked all of its usual hangouts carefully this morning and this afternoon but there was no sign of the bird. Hopefully, it took advantage of the nice warm weather and went on a bit of a short vacation today. I know that there will be people looking tomorrow and I'll do the same on Monday. It is worthwhile to check that shoreline and the edges of the first 400m south of the Marsh Trail entrance if you are coming. Listen for its calls (it gives the "weeeeee" call most of the time, not the "kiskadee call")......they're loud and diagnostic. Good luck.
