Greetings Fellow Birders,

Please find the Ontario Rare Bird Report for the week of March 21, 2025
below.

This weekly report provides information about bird sightings that are
significant due to the species, the location and/or time of year of the
sighting.  Within these weekly reports, as much detail will be provided as
possible regarding observations, including providing credit to the initial
observer(s) and location details.  Please use eBird to provide specific
details as sightings are recorded.  Note that species in all-caps are on
the ORBC review list.  Amendments/corrections may be sent to
dbirkenbergs.birdreports@gmail.com.  I thank each of you for your patience
for any inadvertent oversights.

N.B.: As we are on the leading edge of migration season, there will be
variation as to which sightings are included within these reports
moving forward.  The websites listed below are used to make determinations
for inclusion.  As always, respectful feedback is welcome!
