The re-birth of the "UOB" - 2007 to 2008




Yes the madness continues..... Apparently I had a girlfriend or something for 2007/2008 as I don't seem to have nearly as many birds to share...

Although if I remember correctly, there was clearly some major highlight birds, but far fewer "great birds to twitch" than average over this time frame. Anyhoot -



2008

Oct 11, 2008 - Curlew Sandpiper - in Fort Erie. Juvenile.

May 18, 2008 - King Rail - at Hillman Marsh

May 15, 2008 - Kirtland's Warbler - Singing male. My 300th "self found species" for Ontario.

May 12, 2008 - Lark Bunting - not far from the tip of Pelee

May 12, 2008 - Mottled Duck - the long staying first for Canada, found earlier by Dean Ware.




2007

Nov 28, 2007 - Northern Gannet - one of 5+ on the day during this invasion. Grimsby.

Oct 21, 2007 - White-faced Ibis - Dundas hydro ponds in Hamilton

May 23, 2007 - Black-necked Stilt - female at the Hillman shorebird cell

May 14, 2007 - Chuck-wills-widow - at the tip of Pelee

Apr 8, 2007 - Eared Grebe - at the grimsby poop ponds



The first for the Pelee circle, found by Steve "spike" Pike 



Possibly the last Gannet I've seen in Ontario...  I saw 10-12+ birds from 2001-2007, and haven't seen one since...  I think 2013 is the year they return!
