of hours for the bird to show.
Directions as above but to reach the

The Ruff continues at Kilburn but is tricky as it favors the back of the marsh.
The Snowy Egret lifted at about 18:15 and flew towards the south. I did not see
the reported Eurasian Wigeon but no one saw them depart.
These birds were reported via Facebook earlier this afternoon. Did not see an
The drake Harlequin continues off the lighthouse at Presqu’ile. It was on the
north side just in the bay but has flushed towards Salt Point/Government Dock.

I watched a classic female Barrow’s Goldeneye for about 5 minutes this morning
at Horne’s Ferry before it flew away with most of the Common Goldeneye towards
Cape Vincent (US side). A flotilla of mixed diving ducks has been at this
location the last 2 mornings but this is my first sighting.
Unfortunately, no luck with the bluebird. The home owner has not seen it since
Sunday. Lots of potential habitat out that way (but not much in the way of red
cedar) so may still be around.
Home owner has my number and will call if refound.

Just saw the adult grey Gyrfalcon (10:15) as I came across from Wolfe to
Kingston. It was about 1.5 km from the city. Incredibly it took on 2 Snowy
Owls, taking a big clutch of feathers from the second. There is also a
Peregrine Falcon around nearer the city. Great for comparison but beware of

May well not be here tomorrow but I had a single Greater White-fronted
Goose in a stubble field opposite 1214 Blair Road, Cardinal this evening.
It was in with 800 or so CAGO but departed at 18:30. Apparently, the CAGO
are here every day at the moment. May be worth checking out if in the area
