hill is visible from the end of Milne Lane. Seen in cattails at south end of
pond, but may also need to look in surrounding trees along farm lane or in
evergreens at top of overlooking hill.
Happy Birding!

None have been on the island for the past 3 or so weeks, but even in breeding
season there were only 2-3 breeding pairs on the island.

Around 2:00 p.m. today, a pair of Sandhill Cranes were seen foraging in a harvested carrot field on the north side of Ravenshoe Rd. in Georgina, about 1.5 to 2 km west of Leslie St. Not sure how long they will stay, but would be nice if more joined them, as there is plenty of good foraging

Will be interesting to see what happens here and other areas (including Carden) this year.
My apologies for this long post, but thought I would throw this out to others on this list where there are much better experts than I.

Thanks for the input from a number of ONTBIRDers! Have concluded that the sighted white duck was most likely an escaped domestic Pekin Duck, or perhaps one that has crossed with another duck breed.

First seen this morning, a flock of at least 25 has now grown to more than
50-60. I’ve been observing them on a privately owned Island in Echo Bay on Lake
Boshkung, where they forage in and under evergreens on the Island, but they
regularly fly out over the bay and around Lake Boshkung for
Twice this afternoon, Pine Siskins have flown over Queensville with their
typical noisy calls interspersed with short “zreet” calls. First time was
between 2:30-3:00 pm, a flock of about a dozen heading NE. About 4:40 pm two
close together flocks totalling at least 75 flew over at about 100 m
grey. Flock flew west, and about 20 minutes later about 100 Bonaparte's returned to De La Salle Beach. Unable to relocate the larger part of the Bonaparte's flock and Sabine's to the west, but chances are they are out there somewhere west of De La Salle Beach.

A juvenile Greater White-fronted Goose was seen about 20 minutes ago foraging on
a short grass pasture field among Canada Geese and Crows on the south side of
Davis Drive approximately 1-2 km west of Leaskdale Creek. Pinkish bill with no
white at base of bill, no white cheek patch, light upper
to the west if you wish to continue hiking. eBird reports for this hiking route are viewable at https://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S41679962 and https://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S41680239

be a final decision that
the OBRC will have to make, though, regarding its legitimacy as a wild bird
sighting by so many.

At 8:45 this morning I found a Ross’s Goose among about 200 Canada’s and some
Mallards at the eastern most storm water management pond on the north side of
Ravenshoe Road, east of Thornlodge (between Woodbine and Leslie). Shortly after
9:00 the flock flew north, including the Ross’s. Currently
Currently viewing the Reddish Egret at its favourite location across from 165
Shoreline. Beautiful late afternoon sidelighting, putting on good feeding dance
displays. Previous directions copied below.

In a completely different area, but for winter birders as well, yesterday I heard from some other birders that there is also one in the Holland River near the Newmarket Town Offices just north of Mulock Drive.

Ontbirders, I’m currently looking at 8 Avocets on lagoon 1 at the Holland
Landing Sewage Lagoons. A short time ago at least 14 flushed along with
Mallards, but 8 have returned,
To get to the Lagoons, take Hwy 404 to Queensville Sdrd, drive west until
reaching Yonge St, then turn south to Cedar
A word of caution. If gates are open or workers are present, DO NOT go into the
lagoons.
