Two male spruce grouse were walking/parading on the Opeongo Road in Algonquin Park this morning at 7:30-8:00am this morning. They were about 3km south of the Opeongo store. So long as you stayed quietly in your car they would come as close as 5 feet.
There was a juvenile bald eagle on hwy 127, about 10km south of Whitney around 10AM. The usual Canada Jays and chickadees were in abundance. (I am sure other species were too, but this was a weekend to look for moose, not a birding weekend specifically) Algonquin Park is between Hwy 60 and 17 in Eastern Ontario. Pembroke to the northeast, Huntsville to the west and Whitney to the east. Opeongo Road runs north from Hwy 60 at kilometre 46 in the Park. Hwy 127, runs south from hwy 60 just east of Whitney towards Lake St Peter and Bancroft.
