Anyway, just wanted to get on here and let you know that I've just deleted all of the monarch butterfly tagging pages back to 2014. The owner of Blogger had informed Lee that two of our pages had been permanently removed, the 2017 season and the 2018 season for violating their guidelines but not giving any exact reason as to how or why. My apologies to anyone that was offended (if that was the case) and my apologies to those that found our citizen science monarch tagging information to be of interest and use. I've heard word that there may be a new Monarch Tagging website coming in the near future and I will let you know if and when it happens. Until then, stay home, stay safe, and stay healthy.</p><p>Walter<br /></p>Walter Fisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06507717302079670441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28490863.post-7393764130984424912020-09-15T23:21:00.003-04:002020-12-03T00:31:00.258-05:00Today We've Lost Another Wonderful Friend: Terry Whittam<p>Hi friends, Today we've lost another wonderful friend of Rosetta McClain Gardens: Terry Whittam.

Hi folks, It's with a very heavy heart that I must tell you that our great friend Hugh Reid has passed away. Hugh died peacefully yesterday morning (April 4, 2020) after a short battle with cancer.<br />
<br />
Hugh was always at Rosetta McClain Gardens early in the morning watching for the spring and fall migrants. He also became a huge help to me during our fall hawk watches, always spotting birds up in the sky over the east end of the park and heading our way, he was always one of the first hawk watchers of the day and one of the last ones to leave, always offering me a ride home after I'd been standing all day. Hugh also became quite involved with Terry and Betty's Monarch butterfly tagging program, catching butterflies, taking down and entering data in to the system on the go, sometimes it would become quite comical in the process. We had many a good trip along the highways of Southern Ontario in search of reported 'Lifer' birds. On the night of June 30th, 2017 at 10:30pm I received a messege from Hugh asking me about a Magnificent Frigatebird. I had no clue what he was on about. He told me that there was a Magnificent Frigatebird near Point Pelee National Park and asked me if I was interested in seeing it the next day. Of course, I said 'yes' without any hesitation. I went to bed shortly thereafter knowing that it was going to be a long day but not totally grasping what just happened. We (including Betty) left very early the next morning on our mission, Operation Frigatebird. I'll always remember as we were approaching the London area and I was finally waking up from my daze thinking to myself, holy sh*t we're definitely on a mission this time! What a great day and an amazing bird for Canada Day! That was one bird that I'd never really even considered seeing in Ontario. Hugh also organized our spring trips to Bill Gilmour's house (in Presqu'ile) each May. Those trips have always been second to none, usually producing 100 bird species on average! Hugh and Bill were the best of friends for 40 years! Above all, Hugh was a very kind and caring person, always sharing a funny story or what he knew about nature with others.<br />
<br />
The friends of Rosetta have all gained much from Hugh, he will be sadly missed. A planned get-together at Rosetta in celebration of our friend will take place likely in the fall and after we get through our current situation with the Covid-19 virus. RIP Hugh.<br />

We're nearing the end of the raptor migration and today was a good indication that the birds have left. We'll try again before the end of the month if the wind allows us but I'm thinking we should maybe go with the expectation of few birds and be thrilled if there are more. Another eagle or two would be nice!<br />

It was another lovely sunny day with cold wind blowin' down from the north and a bonus element of a snow covering the ground. The reason that the snow was a bonus was because when Peter arrived at 10:15am he found no one else there and the birds were already up and flying. This is how Peter used the snow to his advantage...<br />

<br />
Migration was consistant up until roughly 1:30pm, then the birds slowed somewhat, then they pretty much stopped completely except for a couple of Turkey Vultures. We hung in until 3:30pm just to make sure that was it for the day. In all, another amazing late fall day of hawk watching. The combination of the sun's position in the sky now and the sunshine reflecting back up off the snow made for some incredible views as the birds circled and soared over the park. Hopefully there are still a few more days like this ahead of us.<br />

Peter, Walter, Dave, Joe, Allison, Jim, Jennifer, Winston, Naish, Betty, Trudy and Theresa. Thankyou everyone for all your help today. Hope you're all toasty-warm by now.<br />
<br />
<u>Weather Prediction:</u><br />
Northwest wind to start the day but quickly swinging around to the south. I'll only go as far as the backyard tomorrow morning for my hawk watching.<br />
<br />
See you all again soon,<br />

It turned out to be beautiful...at least when the sun was shining. Raptor-wise it was a little slow but somewhat steady. Of course, as the weather gets colder the window of opportunity that the birds fly on gets shorter and shorter. Most action today was mid-day. The high point came when our 'first of the season' Rough-legged Hawk emerged from over the distant trees to the east. Eventually it passed over the centre of the park and started to circle upward. To the east another 'Roughie' showed. It slowly circled over the park and met up with the lead bird. As we were celebrating our sightings another Roughie soared directly overhead and tried to sneak by our radar. Unfortunately that didn't work out for the bird and he was spotted and photographed as he flew over the west side of the park. Three Rough-legged Hawks within 10 minutes! Many of the Harriers came early in the day and the Red-tails came in the early afternoon. Hopefully tomorrow will be similar.....or better.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'd like to dedicate today's hawk-watching at Rosetta to Bob Whittam (Terry's brother) who passed away suddenly on November 2nd. We as birders in Ontario have much to thank Bob for...<br />
<br />
His career in biology started at the Long Point Bird Observatory where he was head bird bander in 1968, and included stints with provincial and national parks, the Royal Ontario Museum, and the Canadian Wildlife Service where he ultimately became the chief naturalist at the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre in Midland in 1973. Here, he spearheaded work to reintroduce the Trumpeter Swan and and ban lead shot in Ontario. Just before the federal government cut funding to its interpretation program in 1984, including closing wildlife centres across the country, Bob helped found the non-profit Friends of Wye Marsh. This fortuitous move allowed the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre to remain in operation and Bob to continue to mentor young naturalist staff and make wetlands and nature education accessible to thousands of visitors annually. Former staff still comment on Bob's kind and humorous management style.<br />
<br />
Forced to retire early due to illness, Bob's contribution to nature education was recognized through many awards including the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal (2002) and the Latornell Conservation Pioneer Award (2008) for outstanding contributions to the field of conservation in Ontario. In 2012 Bob realized a lifelong dream when his book, The Birds of Georgian Bay, was published.<br />
<br />
My thoughts this week and especially today are with Terry and his family.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>Today:</u><br />
Northern Harrier - 21<br />
Sharp-shinned Hawk - 2<br />
Red-tailed Hawk - 14<br />

Getting 11 species didn't hurt though and kept things interesting for everyone. With the 100% cloud cover all day of course identifying the birds was challenging at best. Thankfully with a bit of discussion and some great photography work we managed to get by just fine and actually ended up with some nice surprises.<br />

<br />
From what I understand the washrooms at Rosetta are likely closed for the winter now. I'll get the details if and when I get down to the park tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Maybe we'll see you there...maybe not, <br />

A big 'thankyou' to everyone who has been to the park and reported their sightings.<br />

So far I've scoured through the years 2015 thru 2019. The count covers 429 birds. Balds, Goldens and Unidentifieds are included. 12 individuals were not added below because 'time of sighting' was missing in the original post. Enjoy.<br />

<u>Hawkwatchers:</u><br />
Noam, Walter, Brian, Theresa, Ella, Mike, Kris, Connor, Patty, Phil, Dan, Murray and many folks from his Meetup group, Allison, Arvo, Betty, Ann, Naish, Dave, Glen, Ron, Jennifer, Lee, Terry, and many more. Thank you everyone for an amazing day of hawk watching! The sky was difficult when it was totally overcast and when it was totally blue. Your skills at spotting, photographing and identifying are second to none! Only by photo were we able to possitively identify several great birds today including the Golden Eagle, the Red-shouldered Hawk, the Broad-wings and a few others.<br />
<br />
<u>Weather Prediction:</u><br />
A day filled with E wind.<br />
<br />
See you again soon,<br />

On Septermber 24th we were happy to introduce TV and media personality Kevin Frankish to our hawk watch and the birds that we see each fall. For those of you that missed it, Kevin was actively learning and filming (with his cell phone) everything he could. Shortly after arriving the bird that he came to see just so happened to come along, a Bald Eagle. Unfortunately it wasn't one of those jaw-dropping eye-level flybys.....it was high up...high high up...but he did see it. The visit with Kevin was alot of fun and included a group photo that was part of the post for that day. Kevin had explained to us that he was going to use the videos that he was collecting on his phone for a small project that he was working on. He just finished the project today and has kindly allowed me to share it with everyone. It really captures the hawk-watching experience at Rosetta nicely and conveys a very important message. Thankyou Kevin, please visit us again when you can.<br />
