[Ontbirds]Yellow-headed Blackbird at Long Point

[Jeff & Darlene Sauder]

Yesterday afternoon at approximately 2 p.m. a male Yellow-headed Blackbird 
was observed by myself and several other birders.   It was in the trees on 
the west side of the parking lot across the street from the Long Point Bird 
Observatory Old Cut Field Station.

It was very co-operative and sat for quite some time calling and allowing 
great views in the spotting scope set up and also good photos.   After some 
time it flew off to the west.

There is also a Killdeer sitting on a nest in the parking lot.   The area 
has been staked off to hopefully protect the nest.
