And more birds

As you may have noticed birds are coming back in great number to the area. Ontario Nature recently sent out a press release about upcoming arrivals and although most of the gang has returned, however not everyone is back including the House Wren, due May 3, the Yellow Warbler May 7 and the Ruby-throated Hummingbird ETA May 18.
If you have friends or cottages further north of the Simcoe County area tack another week or two on to these dates.
Ontario Nature offers a lot of other ideas about birding, but if you are really interested check out the Brereton Field Naturalists' Club of Barrie.
You can check out their website at www.members.tripod.com/brereton_naturalists, or just head down to Little Lake Park at 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 3. Dress for the weather.
