Title: Hooded and/or prairie and/or cerulean warblers
Post by: beresford on June 01, 2012, 01:12:26 PM

Does anybody have an idea where I might go in and and around the Durham region to find one of these birds? The closest I have read about is a hooded to the east of King City and of course a prairie in Carden. I was wondering if there might be any closer to home (which is Bowmanville).

I have two little boys and with gas prices being what they are I try to stay close to home.

Thanks

Tough ones to find!  Your could try the ebird sightings map (http://ebird.org/ebird/map/hoowar?neg=true&env.minX=-81.73005568969432&env.minY=42.627140016097506&env.maxX=-76.00617873656932&env.maxY=45.051454324111724&zh=true&gp=true&mr=1-12&bmo=1&emo=12&yr=2012-2012&byr=2012&eyr=2012).  You just put in the species and date range (current year).  It's also useful to check the "show points sooner" box.

You could also look in the ONTbirds archives (http://ontbirds.ca/pipermail/birdalert_ontbirds.ca/) since lots of birders still don't use ebird.

Good luck!
