My son Ben and I spent the day birding various areas in Eastern Ontario. We started the morning on the Pakenham-Arnprior CBC until noon. There were lots of finches around including 150+ White-winged Crossbills in the town of Arnprior.
Along the Madawaska River we observed a very late Pied-billed Grebe near the boat launch area.
We also had 150+ Bohemian Waxwings, small flocks at various locations.
During the afternoon we observed a Snowy Owl along Munro Drive near Kinburn, the Northern Hawk-Owl which was still just west of Perth along Cameron Side Road, the Varied Thrush still coming to the feeder near Watsons Corners and the Grandview Road Northern Hawk-Owl was still present.
Keep your cameras and bird books closeby:
anything can show up at your feeder!
