Just a little excitement to build anticipation. I'll get back to doing these updates (when the birds call for it) for the next few weeks as they slowly reach our borders!
Any predictions on the bird of the spring?
Like the black-eyed peas??? haha
ReplyDeleteAs far as bird of the spring goes - Bachman's Sparrow.
I like it !
DeleteI should have added my prediction: Violet-green Swallow
Acorn Woodpecker.
ReplyDeleteAlan just went there.....
DeleteTownsend's Warbler
ReplyDeletewould you settle for a Hermit Warbler??
DeleteA recurring dream of mine: Roseate Spoonbill at Coote's Paradise in the evening in perfect light, 20 degrees C, slight breeze out of the southwest... wait, too much detail?
ReplyDeleteYellow-legged Gull (a real one this time) seen early one morning at the tip of Pelee, photographed well. Unfortunately disappears before most birders get to see it ;)
ReplyDeleteI suppose a Hermit Warbler would do. If the east coast can get them, why not Ontario!
ReplyDeleteI'm going for a SW flavour...Cassin's Sparrow. If I'm allowed alternates then Hepatic Tanager or Scott's Oriole. Aim high!
