Early Summer Cottage Sightings

 July 1-3, 2023


We got a couple of lovely warblers right on our road.  We found a second loon nest too, and another loon swimming on it's back with feet in the air!  And the baby eagle is getting ready to fledge.

House Wrens Continue Nest Building

 June 29, 2023


The wrens were absent for several days, but returned late in the afternoon and put a lot more sticks into the nest box.






A Six-Sparrow Morning at Burnt Lands

 June 29, 2023


We were not up for a full day outing, so a half day at Burnt Lands was just the ticket.


The sparrows we saw were Song, Clay-colored, Grasshopper, Savannah, Field and Eastern Towhee.  Merlin detected Vesper, but we could not get a visual.  We also saw a pair of Broad-winged Hawks and a couple of Brown Thrashers.
























We went into Almonte for lunch, then returned via Blakeney Road and Panmure Road, adding to our day's list.
