Mike and I toured the Long Point area this morning and had some great stuff (64 species). Started out at Port Rowan with the Greater White-fronted Goose from the overlook first thing ( http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S33686747).
Then headed to Old Cut, where we met up with the long-staying Tufted Titmouse, Gray Catbird, Hermit Thrush, and Yellow-rumped Warbler ( http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S33686769). At the end of Rogers Avenue, we had one of the Trumpeter Swans in the area, sleeping on the ice (http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S33686786). Leaving Old Cut, we had an imm. Red-shouldered Hawk and a Ruby-crowned Kinglet at the Crown Marsh Trail ( http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S33686807). At Port Royal, we had (presumably) the same Greater White-fronted Goose flyover in a flock, as well as another Gray Catbird ( http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S33686813). Heading east along Lakeshore, just west of Turkey Point we had the long-staying imm. dark-morph *Calurus *Red-tailed Hawk and a Fox Sparrow ( http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S33686861). At Turkey Point marina we had a female-type Surf Scoter (rare in Norfolk) and Ruddy Duck ( http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist/S33686870).
