Hello birders. While stringing x-mas lights today in the small town of
Pottageville north of Toronto I encountered 5 WWCR, 1 BOCH, and 2 CORA on
Edward Pottage Crescent. The crossbills were flying about the various spruces
in the neighbourhood and easy to locate. The ravens were soaring overhead and
the Boreal Chickadee was pretty well a heard only bird - it gave it's
characteristic nasal call very loudly in a spruce next to the roof I was on, I
looked up, saw the form of a chickadee flying away and was not able to relocate
it again despite fleeing for me bins!
Directions: Pottageville is just west of the 400 north of Toronto, along the
Lloydtown-Aurora Rd.
