TREE SWALLOW

Well, there's no argument, spring has arrived in the Hamilton Study area.
It's been a great week for early migrants and some records have been broken
here.

A TREE SWALLOW was a very early migrant over Princess Point earlier in the
week, lots more to come probably tomorrow.

The sounds of spring are breathtaking. Tundra swans in the thousands passed
through the area all week with larger numbers at the beginning of the week.
Today, small flocks were seen in the fields in Saltfleet.

Killdeer have made a return with their all too familiar cries a
welcome sign of spring. American Woodcocks could be heard peenting and
twittering at the Royal Botanical Gardens property at York Road and up at the Eramosa Karst.
Red-winged Blackbirds and Common Grackles were everywhere this week, spreading their songs of joy.

Thats the news for this week. This weekend will bring in more goodies, be
sure to sort through them all.
