I heard my first American Robin in full song this morning. There was also the most feeder activity in weeks – chickadees, both nuthatches, juncoes, house sparrows, mourning doves, cardinals, a downy woodpecker, and American goldfinches Location: Maple Crescent, Peterborough Observer: Drew Monkman
This first day of mild weather (7 C) in along time also brought in some migrants. The first flocks of Red-winged Blackbirds arrived at the Kidd farm today. Location: Douro/Dummer; County Road 8 Observer: Bruce Kidd
Many Hooded Mergansers, Common Goldeneye, and Greater Scaup on the Lake today, along with 2 Buffleheads and 2 grebes (Pied-billed?) There were also crows carrying nesting material. Location: Little Lake Observer: Ken Rumble
