Have been seeing many large flights of Swans flying into the bay area here this evening. I would guess there is a large concentration by Big Creek this evening.
haven't seen any robins/blackbirds around my area in Brantford, but I suspect with the warm temps forecast for Sunday they'll show for sure. seems to be a "tradition" ???There were a few hundred tundra swans on a pond near my house in the Brantford area yesterday. They stayed for the day and left in the evening probably to advance their migration. Robins showed up overnight. I had not seen or heard any this spring until this morning and it wasn't just one. There were at least 6. The blackbirds have been here for about a week. Also, larger than normal numbers of geese and ducks. The migration is underway.
Myself & @Jumbojim plus his neighbours saw a couple Sandhill Cranes flying overhead while I was visiting in Booths Harbour today. They are very cool to watch,as they fly by!! ??Sandhill Cranes showed up today in the Brantford area.
