We were a large group for this outing - Barbara & Bill, Sami, Connie, Ken, Margaret McCagg and Jane. We met at Andrew Haydon Park and birded there for at least two hours. The birding was excellent including a Long-tailed Duck, White-winged Scotesr, a pair of American Wigeons and Red-breasted Mergansers. We had 18 species at this stop.
We checked out Dick Bell and Grandview, but got nothing of note.
Then on to Shirley's Bay where we saw a buck among the many deer.
A pair of Bald Eagles were a highlight.
At Hilda we saw Fox Sparrows, American Tree Sparrows, Red-winged Blackbirds, Hairy Woodpeckers, a White-throated Sparrow and lots of Blue Jays.
Next, Jane led us to Berry Side Road where here were hundreds of Common Redpolls and a few Hoary Redpolls. We spent a lot of time there!
Next we went to Constance Creek on Thomas Dolan, but there was not much. Lots more action at nearby Dunrobin Lake with Ring-necked Ducks and Hooded Mergansers among other waterfowl.
Our last stop was Vance's Sideroad where there wasn't much, but on the way Barbara spotted a beautiful dark Red-tailed Hawk.
