Some great stuff coming to area feeders. There were 40 seen on Friday at Point Petre and another 100 found at Prince Edward Point the same day by John Charlton of Trenton who was birding the county that day. Belleville area birders Doug Guay and Albert Boisvert today found another 150 along Babylon Road near the Ostrander Road junction on the way to Prince Edward Point. As one might expect, the colder weather has made waterfowl viewing somewhat difficult, but Wellington Harbour can be productive depending on what day one chooses to visit.
Observers there say the strong current results in the availabilty of open water changing daily.
The Naturestuff web page has been updated for the month of February with new information on what birds to expect in Prince Edward County this month. The Birding Opportunities page looks at Macaulay Mountain Conservation Area, and the Birdfeeding Page features a look at the popular Droll Yankees bird feeders and why they have become the leading manufacturer of bird feeders in North America. Lots of new photos throughout the site, with numerous photos in the three newly opened galleries on Birds, Aerial and People. And that's it for this week from Prince Edward County and the Quinte area. Good birding everyone and our thanks to contributors who make this report possible.
