Post by: thouc on October 19, 2010, 08:59:36 PM

Today I viewed the 2 Cattle Egrets near Chatham that has been reported on Ontbirds (http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/ONTB.html#1287458175).

In the morning a nice surprise with 3 white phase Snow Geese flying SW together with 4 Canada Geese.

Yesterday there were som passerine migration with 5 Blue-headed Vireos, 10 Yellow-rumped Warblers and 2 White-throated Sparrows.

Thanks for the Egret update Thomas.
I'm hoping they will stick around for the weekend.
I meant to make it out there this past weekend, but work got in the way.
