Don Perks, Jerry Guild and myself made an early morning trek to bird
Algonquin Park today with relatively good success. We managed to find most
of the areas specialties as follows:
A few Pine Grosbeaks.........6 along Hwy 60 just east of the Mizzy Lake
trail,
1 single bird at the visitor's
center.
A single Boreal Chickadee about halfway along the Spruce Bog Trail.
A single male Spruce Grouse about 100 feet east of the barricade on the
Opeongo Lake road.
At least 10 Evening Grosbeaks at the front feeder at the Visitor's Center.
3 to 4 heard but not seen Common Redpolls.
No fewer than 16 Gray Jays at various locations.............3 or 4 at the
campgrounds.
2 at the rear feeders at the Visitor's center,
5 along the Opeongo Lake road.
3 in the Spruce Bog Trail
One heard but not seen Pileated Woodpecker within the Spruce Bog Trail
A single Pine Siskin at a feeder in Whitney.
Many Ravens
2 probable White-winged Crossbills. (heard but not seen nor confirmed)
Algonquin Park is directly east of Huntsville along Hwy. # 60. Take Hwy 400
north 200 km or so to Huntsville and then easterly on Hwy 60 to the park.
