Long Point Bird Observatory

After driving across half the country,  I have now started a new job. Bright and early this morning I went out with the bird banders at the observatory here in Long Point.

Vivian and Oliver banding in the station

Checking the nets

This morning I saw:
American Robin
Common grackle
Yellow warbler
Common yellowthroat
Yellow breasted flycatcher

Alder flycatcher/ Possible willow
Cedar waxwing
Tree swallows
Red- breasted nuthatch

 That night I went 'toading' which is really just a more specific version of herping that focuses on toads. In my case this was very specific to Fowler's toads. Walking 2km we found 14 of them.
