After a brief hiatus from the blog, I am going to get back into it!
At the start of September, I made a big change to my life. I moved to Hamilton! This not only brings me closer to some of the birdiest areas around but some of the greatest birders I've ever met. With roughly 3 weeks already here I feel great and connected with the birding world around me.
Some of the highlights since I moved include:
- Buff-breasted Sandpiper
- American Golden-Plover
- Hudsonian Godwit
- White-rumped Sandpiper
All of these species were found on Haldibrook Rd just north of Caledonia and put me within 7 species of last year's total tally of 161 species found in Ontario. With very little lakewatching done so far this year I really hope the winds start to get good again soon!
