as predicted by Ron pittaways winter finch forecast the timiskaming area has seen a huge influx in siskins . The hilliardton marsh research and education center has banded over 800 individual siskins. Recently numbers have been dropping off suggesting they are on the move. I apologize if this has already been posted I have recently moved and just have returned to ontbirds today. To visit the hilliardton marsh travel 500 km north of toronto on hwy 11 then proceed 12 km on hwy 569 just north of newliskeard. Happy birding. We are also seeing a small irruption of red breasted nuthatches and today we banded 2 boreal chickadees which is the first time we have done so in 6 years . happy birding we will keep the list apprised of other winter finch appearances _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
