Hi Everyone
Spent part of the weekend birding Algonquin Park along Hwy. 60. Beautiful
weather and a good selection of birds. Highlights included: 4 Spruce Grouse
(2m, 2f) along Spruce Bog Trail, 2 Black-backed Woodpecker (1m) Old Airfield,
(1f) Wolf Howl Pond, 11 Gray Jay, various locations, and 5 Boreal Chickadee,
various locations. Winter finches were scattered around with White-winged
Crossbill being the most common with 80+, mainly along Wolf Howl Pond/WestRose
Lake trail. A few small flocks of Pine Grosbeak, Evening Grosbeak and Common
Redpoll were also observed.
A late Red-necked Grebe was on Lake Opeongo on Nov.13 with 3 Common Loon.
Good Birding
Bruce

As soon as I hit send, I realized that I omitted the directions to Col.Sam
Smith park - take Kipling Ave. south of Lakeshore Rd. and drive as far as
you can to the last parking lot on the left.
Cheers!
