Yesterday, Oct 24, my wife and I were greeted by a charm of over 200 Pine Siskins at the front gates of McRae Provincial Park! We were only able to view them for about 10 minutes then they were gone and we couldn't relocate them. It appeared like they were heading southward along the shores Lake Simcoe. Other than that the park was really quiet and the only other notable sightings were along the shore in a Horned Grebe, Bufflehead and a small group of Goldeneyes.
Nathan Beaulne pwtohotography.com McRae PP directions : Take Hwy 12 West from Orillia, turn right on Muley Point Rd, then right on McRae Park Rd. The park is now closed for the season so you can park at the gate and access the park on foot. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
