Both flew into the very top of the tallest trees/bushes along the east side of the field. We located the bird in these trees/bushes, but by the time we got a scope out, we had lost the bird. We looked for another 35 minutes and were unable to re-locate the bird. Good luck to all those still searching.

Follow this to its end; there is a pay ($5 - coins or Visa) parking lot there; some people have been parking outside and walking in, but I've heard different versions of whether that is permitted or not. Good birding, Marcel Gahbauer Montreal QC marcel.gahbauer@utoronto.ca

The other tradition that I am not familiar with is the location of silver coins. I know on sailboats (having sailed over 25 years), that they belong under the butt of the mast. However, where do they go on a power boat? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
