Red-winged Blackbird (FIRST sighted)

Date: 03/10/2007

Number: 1

On Saturday the signs of advancing Spring were clearly evident South of a line running East from Corunna on the St. Clair River. Grand Bend and The Pinery Provincial Park are located
on Lake Huron (43° 18' 09" N - 81° 45' 23" W). Note
the reference to tundra swans wearing transmitters!

There were TVs (turkey vultures), ROBINS, GRACKLES, REDWINGS and a flock of well over 1,000 COWBIRDS along the new Highway 40. In the river there were small flocks of RINGNECK DUCKS.
The TUFTED TITMOUSE capital of this area is the Pinery Provincial Park.
About a mile away the first TUNDRA SWANS arrived
yesterday at 9am. Some banded and some also with a fine radio antenna sticking up between the wings. They can be found in the fields just behind the Lambton County Museum down Greenway Rd.
