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!
