A Visit to Calabogie

July 6, 2012

There was a summer EDS party at Carolyn’s and Harold’s. Cathy came with us, and we drove up via Panmure Road and Dwyer Hill Road. You guessed it, we were looking for Upland Sandpipers, but drew a blank. We did have a nice view of a Broad-winged Hawk just before reaching Calabogie (no photo). There were only Mallards at the lake, but it was interesting to see that they were starting into eclipse plumage already.

On the way home, we checked for Upland Sandpipers again but the best we could do were some Grasshopper Sparrows and hordes of juvenile European Starlings.
