Bohemian Waxwings in Freelton

An older pic, but one of my all time favourites

A copy/paste of a message I posted two days ago Hamilton Birds (Feb 13):

On route to work this morning I had a flock of roughly 40 Bohemian Waxwings fly over my car at Freelton Rd. and Hwy 6. They were pretty low, and I can only assume they were planning on stopping somewhere in the town. Just a heads up that they may soon be at traditional areas around here if they continue "moving in".

As a side note, spring migration appears to be underway with the expected Horned Larks - along with a noticeable movement of Herring and Ring-billed Gulls in the past two days along the lakeshore in Stoney Creek. A bright male American Robin (that was rather vocal) in front of my Condo in Stoney Creek was also rather suspicious as a potential migrant.

For sure spring appears to be in the air... Just think - we're only a few weeks away from the undeniable start of epic bird migration with Blackbirds, Robins, Killdeer and the start of the spring hawk migration!

Sure is exciting, isn't it?
