At 2pm today we had a Nelson’s Sparrow at Cranberry Marsh at the north viewing platform on Halls Road. It was 10 feet beyond the railing and popped up out of the reeds and into view 3 times, each one fleeting, but enough to ID it.
There was also a Rough-Legged Hawk in a tree on the east side of Halls Road that was very close and cooperative. Great for photos or in-depth study. Cranberry Marsh/Halls Road is south of Victoria Street in Whitby. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
