Twelve folks joined me as we explored the Whitby shoreline on this
gorgeous fall day on our OFO walk. Sixty-one species included a Cackling
Goose at Cranberry, the first Fox Sparrows of the season, Winter Wren
and Phoebe at Thickson and four species of warbler at Lynde Shores -
Palm, Yellow-rumped, Magnolia (very late) and Northern Parula.
However after the walk I went back to where we had looked for and missed
the Fish Crow at Whitby harbour and there it was. Apparently it likes
the afternoons better. We didn't do well on raptors, counting only 5
species but in North Oshawa others found Golden and Bald Eagle, Northern
Goshawks, hundreds of vultures and at least 80 Red-shouldered Hawks.
All this bodes well for the TOC walk tomorrow.
Side note to those that joined me today. I shared the 3 eBird checklists
with you based on the info you gave me so if you didn't receive them lmk
as I must have mis-entered or misread your info. Victor - eBird wouldn't
accept the name you gave me.
