The bedbug summit is happening in Toronto today

Another day at work. Some general observations from the last few days:


American Goldfinch are really on the move, along with expected migrations of Blue Jays and Flickers etc.

Purple Finch are also passing through in numbers....

Some flocks of goldfinch are holding very low numbers of Pine Siskins...

Common Ravens do some dispersal/migration this time of year.

First large kettles of migrant Turkey Vultures...

-----------------------------

Next 4-5 days have lots of north winds forecasted! Friday through Sunday could be the large push of Turkey Vulture migration in Ontario, which is also a great time to look for Swainson's Hawk.. I don't think I'll have a chance to look, but you could! Head to Seacliff near Point Pelee!!!

- Arctic gull migration has started as well.  I had my first "Northern" Juvenile Herring Gull at Port Burwell on the weekend. It's not too early for Thayer's Gull!

Can you spot the Cackling Geese? (two classic adult "richardson's") If you'd like to find this species in Ontario, I wrote this article to try and help:

Anyone think this style of blog is better than the old? Worse? Anyone want to leave a comment below?

  1. Well, since nobody will, I will. I personally like this a little better, since you are able to break up the subjects, and embed photos. You could do this with the old one to, but just my 2 cents. Love your work. Keep it up!
