Latest Sightings in the Windsor Area
March 2010
Monday, March 08: Another warm sunny day today and the snow continues to disappear. The pond is still frozen but should be starting to open up soon. We have had numerous reports of Red-winged Blackbirds and Common Grackles appearing over the weekend (Dan Loncke, Tom Preney, Paul Pratt), first Killdeer on Saturday (Mark Hamel), our first Eastern Chipmunk sightings on Sunday (Tom Preney) and first batch of baby Grey Squirrels (nesting in an owl box). Pussy Willows are showing nicely and Tom Preney photographed Skunk Cabbage over the weekend.Wednesday, March 03: Despite the snow covered ground thare are signs of spring beginning to appear. Two Pine Siskins were present at the nature centre's feeders today. These are likely returning migrants. Yesterday a dozen American Robins flew over the centre, our first spring migrants. On Monday park visitors discovered an Eastern Gartersnake curled up on a small patch of bare ground, surrounded by snow in all directions.
Monday, March 01: Galileo published Sidereal Messanger 400 years ago today and forever changed how we look at the universe. These were the first published telescopic observations of the solar system. Visit SkyNews magazine for upcoming celestial events and early spring observing tips.
