I wouldn't pretend to suggest that I know all the birders both past and present and for that I shouldn't accept their sightings? <br /><br />Since you don't know me I can only guess you don't accept my sightings as valid.<br />I'm hurt! Well... not really.

I don't recognize the two names of the Aug. 9th, 1964, record, and no names are given for the Aug. 13th records, it's just noted that Blackpoll Warblers have been recorded "several times" on this date.Jacobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560403933365907708.post-87469813970895776362012-08-12T07:00:48.670-07:002012-08-12T07:00:48.670-07:00Whose names are on the records?Whose names are on the records?Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02716188624955984867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560403933365907708.post-57545263859788992592012-08-12T06:27:39.744-07:002012-08-12T06:27:39.744-07:00The more I look at it This map would be a darn goo...The more I look at it This map would be a darn good start. I would combine the great lakes region with the mixedwood plains and divide the Ontario shield into a east west regions. That would be 4 areas divided by the diverse ecozones and by extreme distances from east to west and north to south.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560403933365907708.post-73688773658140788122012-08-12T05:33:40.105-07:002012-08-12T05:33:40.105-07:00I'm not sure that ecozones would make good div...I'm not sure that ecozones would make good division points. While true most birds found outside their normal ecozones would be considered rare or unusual finds. The really rare birds, the ones the OBRC is set up to review, for lots the entire province is outside their normal ecozones.<br /><br />There does need to be more divisions made for a area as large as Ontario a north and south really simplifies it too much. To me a east west split is just as if not more important as the north south split as the east and western extremes of the province are represented by two different migration flyways. <br /><br />I also agree there should be a division between things like costal lowlands, great lake region. east and west boreal forest. Would there be that much extra work needed if the province was divided into say 5 or 6 regions instead of 2 or 3?<br /><br />For example for hunters the province is divided into 112 zones. For fishing its 20 zones. To me 5 or 6 zones for birds is not overdoing it at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560403933365907708.post-27569860652886762252012-08-12T04:16:25.311-07:002012-08-12T04:16:25.311-07:00What's your point Fred, questioning the Blackp...What's your point Fred, questioning the Blackpoll sighting? <br /><br />Birds of Hamilton: record early Blackpoll is Aug 7, there's another record for Aug 9, and several for Aug 13.

I have never seen one before but consulted my field guide shortly after, noted it's streaked breast with yellow tinge, slightly streaked back, darker brown head and saw a flash of white on the undertail coverts. They were in the row of trees to the east of the path, just before the first pond.<br /><br />While standing in the tall grass in between the two ponds, I watched about a dozen Kingbirds doing what they do best, and a Willow Flycatcher started hunting for insects right in front of me."Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02716188624955984867noreply@blogger.com
