From: Angie Williams <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 3 May 2024 10:08:38 -0400 Subject: Yellow-headed Blackbird, Northern Ontario Thursday, May 2, at 7 pm, I saw an adult male Yellow-headed Blackbird in a small tree on 5th St. near the corner of Hollywood Ave. in Smooth Rock Falls.
It was with a flock of grackles. There were feeders in the tree. When I arrived, the birds all flew across the street. The YHBL didn't return, at least not while I was watching. It might still be around the area. Smooth Rock Falls is about 35 minutes north of Cochrane, and about 8 hours north of Toronto on highway 11.
