Mike ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jay Solanki <[email protected]> Date: Sat, Sep 26, 2020 at 1:18 PM Subject: Northern Wheatear near Maryhill, Waterloo Region To: <[email protected]> Hi Mike, Jay Solanki, here. We met a couple years ago on a tour you gave in Prince Edward County. I hope you've been keeping well. I'm writing because I believe I saw two Northern Wheatear a few hours ago near Maryhill in Waterloo County. The birds flew off to the North West. I wasn't sure if I should send you this sighting directly, or send it to the ontbirds list. Regardless, I suspect area birders might want to follow-up on it and your help is appreciated! I've already posted the observation (including photos) to eBird and iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/60839964 https://ebird.org/checklist/S74069591 I saw them at ~09:45 at this location: 43.522938, -80.363643 Let me know if I can send you any other information.
