Title: Humber Bay East - Late Gnatcatcher, Pipits, Hawks
Post by: Iain on November 22, 2007, 11:28:57 PM
Birded the park from 11am to 2pm today, Nov 22nd.  I found a very late Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher braving the cold wind and blowing snow with a group of American Tree Sparrows near the south-eastern point.  There was also a one-footed American Pipit feeding on the main gravel path as a well as a second Pipit on the north side shore (near the butterfly garden).  A female Northern Harrier was quite active over the eastern side of the park and as I was leaving, two light phase Rough-legged Hawks flew over heading west.
