Hi folks: While leading a Riverwood Conservancy sponsored bird walk at Saddington Park, west side of Port Credit harbour... We had 12 Common Redpolls feeding just east of main parking lot or west of the public bathrooms. As well, at lakefront Promenade Park, east of Cawthra & Lakeshore Blvd, at the mouth of the bay there was one CANVASBACK amongst 100 Redheads. Sorry for late posting, but also note that yesterday...Dan Salisbury and I had a nice Hoary Redpoll ( exilipes) and only one Common Redpoll at Valens CA where there have been up to 42 Common Redpolls ( flammeus flammeus ) Valens CA can be reached by going north on hiway#6 from 403 to cr 97 west a few kilometers to entrance. You must walk 1 km from entrance past long wooden bridge to Lakeside view trail to Tamaracks. The two species of Redpoll seemed to have been attracted by my imitating the Saw-whet Owl calls. The Exilipes ssp Hoary is a nice frosty white with stubby pushed in bill, very little flank barring and pure white rump. As well, there are bluebirds at the RBG arboretum Rasberry House and Red morph Screech owl In Woodland Cemetery
