What a Friday AM at Cranberry Marsh and on Hall's Rd., Whitby---1)The GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW was a very regular visitor on the north pathway all morning(day 20), along with White-crowned, Song, White-throated and many Tree Sparrows. 2) At 11a.m. a SANDHILL CRANE flew low from the north, over the wetland, then when it reached the willow barrier beach he decided to re-track, flying back north---great viewings made by 4 of us. 3) Charlie Adey noted12 Common Redpolls at the entry to the south pathway in mid-AM. 4) At noon Jim Fairchild heard a repeated 3-note song--he said--"PINE GROSBEAK"--6 of us raced up Hall's Rd. and found a female PG at the top of a tall tree near the entry to the north pathway. A Golden-crowned Kinglet was heard. 5) For the 5th successive day a BARRED OWL was seen in an open tree along the north pathway. It was nmopted by several people in mid-AM. If you come to see the G-c S next week please consider bringing millet-feed to spread. Our regular feeder may be out of commission for a few days before he starts to place feed at the north pathway. Oh yes, 3 migrating Rough-legged Hawks were recorded, 2 being dark morph. >From the west, exit 401 at Salem Rd.
