[Ontbirds]Green Heron-Port Burwell

[Aaron Allensen]

Birders;  Having to keep ears and eyes close to home on Sat April 19th but one new spring arrival was noted , a Green Heron which landed in the willow tree beside my pond around 6:00 p.m.It stayed perhaps 10 minutes before flying off. Large numbers of brightly coloured white-throated sparrows arrived on Friday April 18th. New species for the week included an osprey on Wed. April16th and a short-eared owl ,just before dusk near the harbour in Port Burwell  on the 15th. The king fishers have also begun excavating a nesting burrow in the cliff face. Good Birding. Ron Allensen . 

 Directions; Port Burwell is on lake Erie at the southern terminus of hiway 19. . Take Ingersol exit south from 401.
