Hi Everyone My son Ben and I spent the day birding various areas in eastern Ontario. We started the morning on the Pakenham-Arnprior till noon, lots of finches around including 150+ White-winged Crossbills in the town of Arnprior. Along the Madawaska River we observed a very late Pied-billed Grebe near the boat launch area. Also had 150+ Bohemian Waxwings, small flocks at various locations. During the afternoon we observed a Snowy Owl along Munro Drive near Kinburn, Northern Hawk-Owl was still just west of Perth along Cameron Side Road, the Varied Thrush still coming to the feeder near Watsons Corners and the Grandview Road N.Hawk-Owl was still present. If you require additional information, please email me privately. Good birding Bruce & Ben
