Bobolinks - an informal survey

Dave and I did an informal survey of the area from Britannia and 4th Line to Lower Base Line, back up Fifth Line to Britannia. Here is a map with recent sightings.


We weren't expecting to see much, but in fact we did! 35 male and 2 female Bobolinks! Most were too far out for our point and shoot camera to pick them up, but we could see clearly with our binoculars.





And 3 Eastern Meadowlarks as well.







We submitted these to Conservation Halton as part of their call for sightings of these species.

And in just because, I'm including some pics of Turkey Vultures we saw in a field. They were feasting away on what we think was a raccoon.
