Congrats on a nice Swamp Sparrow!!! Excellent find! A good rarity for the area. Where abouts was it in the park? Im certainly interested to go see it. For those who are not sure where the website is, it is here. Lots of other great pictures too. www.butterflyonmyshoulder.ca/Journal/10_08/10_08-10.htm |

The swamp sparrow was on the Salwein Creek Loop pathway in the marshy area near the bridge closest to the dyke road.

Lots of updates! Good birds everyone. We're sure hurting on warblers though! If it wasnt for Bruce and Joanne and their Orange-crowned Warbler sighting, we'd be at Yellow-rumped Warbler! Wow, just updated the list and we got 37 new species in the last five days!  (make that 38...missed the Brown Creepers!) p.s. Oh man...always finding more...the first of the fall Double-crested Cormorants were sighted by Bruce and Joanne on the 8th. That's 39 species (at the moment!) |

With Gord's intelligent help for identification we can now say that we spotted a Bonaparte's Gull in non-breeding plummage at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve today. Thanks Gord!
