Fall migration brings chance of rare birds to Renfrew County (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fall is a great time for bird watching. It is also a good time to look for rare birds as many juvenile birds from the south and west get off track during the fall migration. This sometimes also occurs in the spring, but more so in the fall. When this occurs, this is often known as reverse migration. I remember back in 2006, a rare juvenile Glossy Ibis appeared in the Deep River area near the beach area. It was the first record of this bird for Renfrew County. This bird is normally found in the s
Ruddy Turnstone a favourite among fall migrating shorebirds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Late August and the month of September is one of the prime migration periods for shorebirds. One of the more attractive shorebirds, and my favourite, is the Ruddy Turnstone. The Ruddy Turnstone (Arenaria interpes) likes to frequent beaches, mudflats, jetties, rocky shores, and of course, the arctic tundra where it breeds. It is one of the easiest shorebirds to identify. This plover-like shorebird has a vividly patterned body and wings that show bold, rusty-reds, black, and white colouring. It ha
BIRDWATCH: The brilliant Yellow-throated Vireo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the summer birds that occasionally visits our area is the Yellow-throated Vireo. This Vireo is considered one of the most colourful vireos of the family. In the past, I have seen several of these birds in the southeast United States, but only twice in Renfrew County. The Yellow-throated Vireo (Viroe flavifrons) is smaller than our Red-eyed Vireo, about five inches in length. It can easily be identified by its bright yellow throat and breast, yellow spectacles around its eyes, and two dist
Hillman Marsh near Leamington great spot to observe shorebirds, migrating warblers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the best places to observe shorebirds and other migrating warblers, especially in the spring, is the Hillman Marsh Conservation Area. It is a 10,000-acre wetland located just east of the Town of Leamington, Ont. At one time, this wetland was part of a continuous wetland system located beside Point Pelee. However, due to home settlements, agricultural drainage, and climate change, the wetland was altered over the past century. Prior to the 1900s, this area was the traditional territory of
BIRDWATCH: Rare Connecticut Warbler highlights Petawawa birding excursion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On May 23, a rare Connecticut Warbler was found on the Pembroke Area Field Naturalists’ Petawawa Terrace excursion. This was an excellent sighting as there have only been a few sightings of this bird in our area. The Connecticut Warbler (Oporovis aglis) was named after the place where it was first identified, the state of Connecticut. Interestingly, this bird does not breed either in Connecticut or in our area. It was sighted there during the fall migration. The Connecticut Warbler is a short-ta
