A TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE was seen along County Road 13 on February
27th, in the vicinity of Little Bluff Conservation Area, at South Bay. If you are on your way to Prince Edward Point (43° 56' 14" N -76° 51' 32" W) anytime, just keep your eyes peeled for a robin that doesn't look quite right. Speaking of
which, there were hundreds of AMERICAN ROBINS down that way that same day, and also seen were 1,000 EUROPEAN STARLINGS, a NORTHERN FLICKER, 5 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, a few flocks of CEDAR WAXWINGS, along with an EASTERN BLUEBIRD between South Bay
and the Black River Cheese Factory.

While cold weather this week (chunks of ice were floating in my heated bird bath one morning !) would seem to deny that we are
well into March, the increasing flocks of AMERICAN ROBINS would beg to disagree. Over 200 were seen in scattered numbers along one 2 km length of South Big Island Road on Friday, and sightings ranging from a few individuals to several hundred have
been reported elsewhere
