I was birding (trying to get away from everything here!) in the Algonquin area all week, hence the late note. On Monday afternoon (June 20) while birding in Arrowhead Provincial Park, I was surprised to hear a WHITE-EYED VIREO on Beaver Meadow Trail. It sang for about ten minutes before I even saw it. This species is hard enough to find in Rondeau, let alone in northern Muskoka district! Lots of other resident warblers and other birds were around, including Olive-sided Flycatcher, Broad-winged Hawk. Location: Arrowhead PP is located just north of Huntsville off Hwy 11. Go into park and turn left just past the gatehouse. Follow narrow road until you see the sign for Beaver Meadow Trail. Park there and walk in to trail. This trail is quite long (over 9km) as I found out! The location of the vireo was at the almost halfway point where there is a boardwalk that crosses a stream. This was the first boardwalk as I recall. Perhaps check for map at gatehouse and you will see where trail first crosses a stream. Hoping the bird is still there.......... Blake A.
