Sunday At the Lift Bridge
March 11, 2012 - Burlington - Lift Bridge
Sue McCreadie Reports:
On Sunday, Bill and I were treated to an amazing display. Shall we say that Love is definitely in the air. We watched the birds for several hours. There was flight after flight of Red-winged Blackbirds making there way North across the canal. Dad was hunting from the top the Hamilton Hydro and made many stoops after the poor Blackbirds. While we were there, he was successful once, but as he attempted to make it back to one of the picnic tables, he lost it. The Blackbird flew away but I’m sure he was going to need some time to recuperate. As it is so beautiful today, we will be heading back down this afternoon. We have been unable to read any bands as yet but know that the male had a black band and the female is Black/Green. We are assuming that it is still Cirrus and Mackenzie.
