Hi Everyone
The Red-headed Woodpeckers at Constance Bay appear to be settling in for
the winter. Yesterday afternoon, I saw 4 individuals, 1 adult and 3 immature
in the old burn site. There was lots of woodpecker activity including 2
Downy, 2 Hairy and 2 Pileated Woodpeckers.
Along the Ottawa River 2 adult Bald Eagles were observed scavenging
along the shoreline. Winter finches are still on the move. I had a few small
flocks of Common Redpoll at Constance Bay and a flock of 6 Pine Grosbeaks in
Carp. There was a flock of 70+ Bohemian Waxwing along Dunrobin Road at
Woodlawn and a flock of 7 along March Road at Shirley's Brook.
The Carolina Wren is still present in the ravine and coming to my
feeder.
good birding
