Sunday: I got up with the intention to head back out to the eagle nest, but as it was promising to be a nice sunny/warmer day, so on impulse I headed down to Long Point to check out the possibility of something new. Locally, it had snowed over night so couldn't get away from Old-man Winter, even when after heading south. Checked out Bird Studies HQ, Sewage Ponds, Old Cut Station & the Marsh. Migrating Tundra Swans were in huge numbers (several thousand out on the ice about a mile from where I was). Saw two adult Northern Harriers at two different locations, but my best opportunity was lost as I scrambled to get gear set up. Interestingly, I witnessed wave after wave of returning migrants, mainly Grackles & Red Wing Blackbirds ... they were non-stop!

Some of the more common migrants are starting to show up. Lots of Robins, Red Wing Blackbirds & Grackles so at least these guys think it's spring, but with the ground still frozen, even where grass is showing, the Robins are having a hard time forraging.
