While quickly passing through Algonquin Park with my parents on Sunday, the following birds were observed at Spruce Bog Boardwalk, the Visitor Centre and Wolf Howl Pond.
1 male SPRUCE GROUSE, 20 WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS, 3 PINE GROSBEAKS, 1 BOREAL CHICKADEE and 4 GRAY JAYS. Good Birding Bruce Ripley Algonquin Park is located on Hwy. 60, east of Huntsville. Km. 43 Visitor Centre feeders. There are two feeders; one below the observation deck and one north of the main building. Km. 42.5 Spruce Bog Boardwalk Arowhon Road km. 15.4 Take Arowhon road north off of Hwy 60 for about 5 km. Where the road branches in three (old rail line) at the large Arowhon Resort sign, take the right branch and drive about 100m along the old rail bed until you reach the chain across the road and park there. The rail bed can then be walked. After about 15 minutes it joins up with the upper part of the Mizzy Lake trail and passes by Wolf Howl Pond and West Rose Lake. Return on same route from West Rose Lake.
