Hi, this is my first post so I hope I do it right.

We are one beginning birder and one rusty birder, so I know many 
migrants around us during our 1-hour stroll this morning at Ojibway 
Nature Area starting at 9 a.m. went unidentified, however we did get 
Rose-breasted Grosbeak, many Yellow-rumped Warblers, a Chestnut-sided 
Warbler, a Hooded Warbler, and an Eastern Towhee singing at the very top 
of a tree in the sunshine. I heard White-throated sparrow as well. About 
five other species we were not able to pin down: about 3 other warblers 
and possibly vireos. The morning was cool but sunny and bird activity 
was just amazing.

A passerby claimed that the rufous-phase screech owl peeked out of its 
nesting box (box in middle of creek by road), but we did not get to 
witness that.

To get to the Ojibway Nature Area, take the Matchette Rd exit off the EC 
Row as depicted in this map <http://www.ojibway.ca/map.htm>.

Happy birding. Kelly Morrissey and Sylvain Cote, Windsor
