Hi there, This past weekend, I visited some family who live just outside of Powassan, ON. They live on a gorgeous, 200+ acre property that offers the inquisitive naturalist a variety of habitats to survey. From old-fields, to boreal wetlands, to hardwood-dominated hillsides, this area is a real nature-lovers dream (at least I think so!). Throughout the weekend, I managed 57 species of birds. Highlights include:
Savannah Sparrow Ruby-crowned Kinglet Rusty Blackbird Brown-headed Cowbird Common Loon (two, flying overhead) American Bittern (several seen in flight and heard in call) Sandhill Crane Hermit Thrush Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Barred Owl Great Horned Owl Good birding, Jon Ruddy _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
