Saw my first "Todd's" Canada geese from the North in several flocks... Now is the time for Cackling Geese to arrive. I wrote about it a while ago, so if you're interested, now may be a good time to check it out again:

(shameless self promotion, I know).
The main highlight was 4 adult "Lesser" "White Morph" Snow Geese in the SW corner of the Island (not the arm, just up the road from the USA ferry). I also had an adult Peregrine Falcon riding the airwaves up and down the shore here.
(they were a bit distant, but you can at least see 1 or 2 in there, right?)
Snagged about 70 American Pipits, lots of other waterfowl, numerous Kestrel's and Harriers, a few shorebirds (yellowlegs), but overall fairly uneventful. This place really seems under-birded to me, and I really enjoy being out there. And it will only get better over the next 2-3 months .
Starling on Wolfe. Wolfe isnt "easy" to bird, but there are very large numbers there to be found.. Not that anyone cares about Starlings, but I had thousands upon thousands!
Directions: take the ferry from downtown kingston:
