Hello, went to Algonquin Park and we had a super day seeing almost all the
northern specialties.
Highlights include: Black-backed Woodpecker(male) on Opeongo Road past the
culvert about halfway between the gate and the store.
Also in this same general area saw 2 Boreal chickadees, Spruce Grouse and 3
Gray Jays
At Spruce Bog was another Spruce grouse and we had 2 Ruffed Grouse in Mew Lake
Campgrounds
2 small flocks of White-winged Crossbills seen and/or heard at Opeongo and
Spruce Bog
4 Red Crossbills (2f,2m) outside front of Visitor Center
1 Hoary Redpoll in with flock of Common Redpolls at Visitor Center feeders,
also Pine and Evening Grosbeaks, Pine Siskins and other usual birds at the
feeders
2 Pine Martens were at the Visitor Center feeders when we got there
West Gate had Pileated Woodpecker and Pine Grosbeaks and Common Redpolls
Thanks Benito and Ian for the great day of birding
