Yesterday, January 9 2015, approximately 30 birders participated in a great day
of birding in Windsor, Essex County, led by Jeremy Hatt, Kory Renaud, and I
(Jeremy Bensette). The eager group found and identified a grand total of 44
bird species, an impressive count for such an abnormally warm
to post someone else's
sightings but I figure an exception can be made here since there was a specific
inquiry about it, and this find has been on CBC news in a number of media as
well as a number of Facebook pages.

A number of us are currently watching the Bullock's Oriole feeding on apples in
the same location described below in Bruce's email. Look very hard as it's very
easy to miss. Good luck to anyone chasing it!

the coast it could pass Kingsville and Point Pelee areas. I lost track of it

This is not necessarily a rare taxa, but a pretty rare form of a common Ontario

Tonight at around 6:40 pm, I found a Franklin's Gull at Hillman Marsh in
Leamington. It was standing on some mud with a few hundred Ring-billed and
Herring Gulls in the south side of the marsh. It stood out due to its notably
small size and darker mantle, and it had a black head, dark legs, and
Hillman Marsh,
where we saw both of these goose species, along with many ducks, Tundra Swans,
and Canada Geese. Often, the geese are scattered across the marsh and a scope
is also required here.
